Welcome!

Welcome to the primary posting of my blog. This is your one-stop-shop for ideas on keeping your business' most valuable assets - your staff!

As you come back (often) to this blog, you will see what I call my PERCs (Preferred Employee Recognition Concepts).

An example of a PERC, and one of my favorites is:
Business cards. Imagine with me:
A pretty young woman in a restaurant. A handsome young man asks her what she does. Her reply: “I’m a receptionist.” Next scenario: Same woman, same man and same question. The reply is now a business card handed to him with “Sally Jones, Front Office Assistant for the Fred Smith Company” emblazoned on the front. Business cards are now your cheapest forms of advertising. And I will tell you a secret. They are also very important in employee retention. All the way down to the “Maintenance Staff Engineer.”

I will have more PERCs, as well ideas for you, so do come back.
