Here Today, Here Tomorrow: Transforming Your Workforce from High-Turnover to High-Retention
In a no-nonsense, take-charge style (stemming from his 20 years of military experience), Smith, a management consultant and motivational speaker, offers specific strategies on keeping employees. Some practices sound silly--holiday parties, candy giveaways, golf outings--but can be effective, says Smith. He advocates other, appealing strategies--on-site day care, free family health care, shorter workweeks, unlimited sick leave--that may be untenable because of cost. But Smith offers reasons that, over the long term, these benefits can keep employees and reduce management costs. Well written and with useful advice for HR managers and company executives.Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information, Inc.
