#1 Reason Top Performers Leave

Staffing company Robert Half International recently surveyed 150 senior executives from the nation’s 1,000 largest companies. The survey results revealed the number one reason good employees quit their jobs is dissatisfaction with management. Limited opportunities for advancement was the second most common answer.

Employees want strong leadership, especially during periods of uncertainty, and they want managers they can learn from and who take an interest in their careers. When many companies have reduced staff levels and are asking more of the employees who remain, managers need to pay close attention to the needs of their teams, or risk losing the most valuable employees.

Employees want to see their efforts rewarded and acknowledged. If a promotion or raise isn’t in the cards right now due to business conditions, consider offering professional development opportunities and flexibility to work on projects that will help these employees expand their skill sets.

Re: 20 Reasons why you must be a reader - Hi there, It is quite amazing that ten days ago you wrote this post and still wait for responses. I am sure virtually nobody comes to this forum who does not read, so come on help 'ideasprosperity' and list the 20 reasons we benefit by reading books. Reason no 2: We can learn from the successful people what to do and what not to do. (There is so much information on this subject on Evancarmichael) Reason no 3: ............????
Re: Are you insane??? - I am not sure as to whether the author is insane or not but I am sure that its not gonna work. Reason is quite simple - If I set my watch 30 minutes earlier I am aware of it and when I am aware I can always tell myself - Its still 30 minutes to go!
Re: Twitter Censorship? - I haven't heard that but it wouldn't surprise me. Seems like there are people/governments/sites all over the place trying to get internet censorship. Personally I think it's a bad idea. Once you open that can of worms then where does it stop? Leave it be and see what it can truly grow into!
list building - OK.... I think I get it. Reason I'm curious is that I'm working on a Health product site with a friend, it will fit nicely with the client base on arcamax. We're planning to set up an affiliate program to drive sales and looking for low cost alternatives to generate traffic. We will be creating several reports, and a book is already available. We just need to get the puzzle pieces in place for the site - then get the traffic.
Re: How should i promote a new website? - I forgot to mention another good one. Leave you business cards (with your website on it) in public places that you go. Even in bathrooms on the sink or on top of the hand blow dryer. People are curious as to what it might say. Also make sure you put something on it that will tell them what you sell. Not just the name of your business.
