Summary:

I liked the article because it highlights the importance of the “human” in management.  Finding and keeping talented employees that mirror you company’s beliefs and goals is not an easy thing to do. The author points out the importance of flexibility and recognition in increasing morale. He also adds that large corporations need, either on a contract basis, or as a permanent addition to your team, an expert in HR strategy because it will ultimately save you time and money.

Quote:

“Believe it or not, it is not your product, nor is it your enormous brain or fantastic location – it’s your workers! Without them nothing happens – you can’t do it all! Without strategic management, retention of your staff can be difficult. Going through the ordeal of replacing an unhappy staff member can cost up to three times their original annual salary. Couldn’t that money be better spent on trusted, loyal employees that reflect your business values? “
