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.
