Webinar Alert: Retention – When It Can’t Be About the Money

Posted on August 18, 2009 | Leave a comment

Join Manpower on Wednesday, August 26, from 11 am – 12 pm CDT, as we host a complimentary webinar entitled, Retention – When It Can’t Be About the Money.

The old saying “you get what you pay for” holds true and is always the case when it comes to your employees. The problem is that most employers think only in terms of dollars when, in your employees’ minds, “compensation” is about much more than money.

Human Resources surveys repeatedly show that people who love their jobs would not leave for a 10 percent pay increase. Only about four percent would consider an offer of 15 percent or more and the other 96 percent wouldn’t consider it at all unless the offer was at least 20 percent to 25 percent more.

So, if it isn’t about the money, what is it your people want from you? What are the intangibles that keep great people on-board and motivated?

During this webinar, you will learn:

  • The four most important things employees of each generation want from their jobs
  • The number one motivator that every manager has 100% control over
  • The key ways to find out each employee’s drivers
  • The largest mistake managers make that causes great employees to leave

Join Manpower on Wednesday, April 29 from 11 am – 12 pm CDT

When faced with economic uncertainty, some organizations do all the wrong things and presenter Mel Kleiman has seen it all before – from the 60s right up to today.

While many businesses didn’t survive the economic upheavals of the 30s, 60s, 80s and 2001, through his research and consulting work, Kleiman discovered that those that did had five key strategies in common. Attend this informative webinar so you can benchmark your organization against the best practices of the businesses that survived and then thrived when the turnaround came.

During this webinar, you will learn:

*  Why cost-cutting is largely ineffective

*  How the winners were able to think outside the box and do it faster/better/cheaper

*  Why innovation is key

*  Why your focus needs to be customers and employees (not the economy)

*  Why it’s time to raise your hiring standards
