$mart Hiring and Retention of Top Performer$


Hiring includes the cost of termination, marketing, replacement, down time and learning curve; not to mention lost productivity and morale.  Hiring mistakes are very costly.

Hiring smart is about getting the right people on your bus.  Retaining top performers is about keeping the right people on your bus.

 In Jim Collins’ book From Good to Great, the author says: “The executives who ignited the transformations from good to great did not first figure out where to drive the bus and then get people to take it there.  No, they first got the right people on the bus (and the wrong people off the bus) and then figured out where to drive it.”

Retaining top performers is essential in today’s competitive market.  Top performers almost always exceed the performance of average workers by at least 25 percent. Cultivating top performers nets an instant gain and gives your organization the competitive edge.
