New Hire Onboarding

Shouldn't the first day of  your new hire be special and memorable for them?  Shouldn't the primary focus of your onboarding process be people oriented vs paper?  Shouldn't we have a party on the first day of work for your new hire as opposed to their last day?  You want to improve your employee retention?  Take a hard, deep look into your onboarding process.  As the saying goes, "First impressions are lasting."  What kind of impressions is your company onboarding making to your new hires?

Simplification

Simplification is a critical component of high-performance organizations.  How easy is it to get things done at your company?

Corporate Culture

The minute you take your eye off of culture, it drifts.  Everything you do and don't do impacts culture.   #corporateculture

Workplace Productivity

High performance organizations systematically declutter and de-stress the workplace of unproductive noise.

Adaptable

High-performance organizations are above anything else...adaptable.  How adaptable is your organization?  #corporateculture

Employee Turnover

Understanding why employees leave should be a top priority.  It's not always for more money. 

Organizational Effectiveness

When organizations are ineffective, the bottleneck is always at the top of the bottle.  #organizationaleffectiveness 

Shoot The Messenger

Instead of shooting the messengers, shoot the people who shoot the messengers.   #corporateculture

Culture

Your culture can be your greatest competive advantage, or it can be an obstacle that is always in your way.  #culture

Mission Statements

The number one problem with many so-called mission statements is that they're simply too long.  They don't create focus, people don't remember them, and they don't lead to action.  #corporateculture
