Description: "In Keeping the People Who Keep You in Business, Branham offers battle-fatigued managers a plan for victory in the talent war. Critical to his plan are 24 compelling strategies for keeping good employees. These strategies are grouped under four keys: (1) Be a company that people want to work for, (2) select the right people in the first place, (3) get them off to a great start, and (4) coach and reward to sustain commitment.

In addition, Branham identifies dozens of companies with outstanding employee-retention programs and provides hundreds of examples of what these companies are doing - ranging from low- or no-cost activities to major initiatives - to hang on to their most productive people."--BOOK JACKET.
