Seminar Summary:
Although they do not appear on the financial balance sheet, the people who work for a company can be the most important asset. How does one identify the best candidates to hire? How do you get them to perform in accordance with company methods and in pursuit of company objectives? How do you encourage them? Train or discipline them? And how do you fairly compensate them? This Seminar answeres these questions and participants receive helpful tools they can use in their businesses. This Seminar serves as a bridge to the Strategy Seminar by introducing the concepts of how a company's culture and organization must align with its overall goals.
