  • Do You Have a Problem Hiring & Retaining the Right Employees in Your Business?  (10/14/2013)
  • The Harvard Business Review reports that "as much as 80 percent of employee turnover is due to bad hiring decisions."

    Why do most business owners and executives tell me that finding and hiring the right people is one of the most difficult challenges they face in their business? The reason is pretty simple: lack of a formal hiring process. Most people today hire on their gut feel or the candidate's personality. Managers and supervisors are willing to settle for a hire, because it is easier to "have a cheek in the seat" than to spend the required time upfront to put in place the right recruitment process.
