During the show, Richard and I discussed:

Managing the growth of an emerging small business is a challenge. One of the challenges is the business leader’s belief that they have all the answers.

The human side of many emerging small businesses is often the source of lost productivity, profit, and cash flow.

An on-site assessment of a business can reveal huge ROI opportunities that the business owner is unaware of.

Job seekers often fail to understand the needs of an employer. Employers often fail to understand the needs of the job applicant. That’s the reason for poor results in recruiting, hiring, employee engagement, and turnover.

Traditional recruiting, hiring, and manager selection methods often fall short of the desired result. It’s time for renewal of these policies and procedures.

Turnover and employee engagement data have failed to exhibit significant improvement in American businesses over the past five years.

The challenges of overcoming deficiencies in recruiting, hiring decisions, management selection, employee engagement, and employee turnover can be solved.
