Offer older employees courses on how to use the Internet. For younger ones, provide executive development programs. Subsidize further education that is not job related. Show them the future. Tell them where the company's going, how they fit in, and how to prepare.
Little changes make a big difference.
Good people leave bad bosses not bad companies. Today's work place requires a kinder, gentler, more collaborative type of management. At a time when employees are less likely to tolerate inept managers, it makes good sense to call in an executive coach to correct problems before they intensify. Build it and they will come. Employees of all ages place a high value on balancing their work and personal lives.
