He is a dynamic and charismatic trainer and facilitator. Greg is excellent at establishing clear directions and explaining why we're doing what we're doing. He communicated the information in a clear and easy manner for me to learn and comprehend the material. He was also very patient and flexible with his time. Greg has a very warm and gracious spirit and is exceptionally helpful. Immediately following Greg’s training I felt fully prepared and ready to tackle my first DISC facilitation assignment.

Navigator -- I Can’t Take It Anymore! Employee Turnover on the Increase

Navigator #186 Subscribe | Blog | Article Archive | Resource Center | Website | Contact

PERSONAL NOTE FROM THE LEAD NAVIGATOR   This is my favorite time of the year -- springtime!  I realize many of you are still in the middle of winter. Sorry! But in Atlanta, the trees are starting to bloom and it is finally warming up.   Along with the trees, the economy is warming up once again too.   After living through many recessions and downturns, similar patterns emerge.  As the economy heats up, so does employee turnover.  Make sure you read the below article and prevent unwanted turnover.   Charting your course! Captain of the Ship and Lead Navigator Gregory P. Smith   Planning a training meeting, retreat or need a dynamic speaker? Keep us in mind if you need a speaker, trainer or facilitator for an upcoming meeting or conference. Contact Jan King for further information. 770-860-9464   FEATURE ARTICLE   I Can’t Take It Anymore! Employee Turnover on the Increase Employee turnover is starting to increase. Employers need to take steps and prevent losing their loyal and skilled workers now. John is an industrial engineer. He has been working for the same employer for the past four years. He used to love his job and enjoy going to work. Now he is tired, frustrated and feels cheated. Many of those who have stuck it out with their employers during this recession are deciding it is time to update their resume and start looking for a better job somewhere else. Over the past few years, employees have grown increasingly unhappy with their jobs and their employers for many reasons. Some feel their employers have cut back too far. Others feel their organization has taken advantage of them. Some have not seen a pay raise, bonus or promotion in years. Their friends are starting to get pay raises, why not them? With every economic downturn I have seen, the same circle of events repeat itself. The media is sou nding more optimistic. Their friends start talking about getting better paying jobs and pay raises. Others leave for better and more interesting career opportunities. If you are an employer, you need to evaluate your pay and benefits. Insure you minimize job dissatisfaction by providing a competitive work environment. You don’t want to be behind the power curve as the economy grows. Don’t get caught in the trap of thinking it is cheaper to find a replacement for less money. Sure, employers can find plenty of people willing to take a job for less. But the cost of replacing a skilled employee is far more expensive than most realize. In general, there are five important areas that lead to employee turnover and low job satisfaction. • Poor match between the person and the job • Poor fit with the organizational climate and culture • Poor alignment between pay and performance &bul l; Poor connections between the individual, their coworkers and the supervisor • Poor opportunities for growth and advancement Cost of Employee Turnover The cost of attracting, recruiting, hiring, training and getting new people up to speed is tremendously more costly as well as more wasteful than most realize. Studies from the Gallup organization show employees who have an above average attitude toward their work will generate 38 percent higher customer satisfaction scores, 22 percent higher productivity and 27 percent higher profits for their companies.   Provide us your comments...     UPCOMING EVENTS AND CLASSES     DISC Certification Group Coaching Training Program (Webseminar) Individual personality styles and preferences have a direct impact on our interpersonal relationships at home and at the workplace.

They choose an employee from each of their four affiliates, and provide name, length of time employed at their organization, title, and a brief description of job duties. Then they ask them a 'fun' question each month, such as 'If you could be anyone/do anything else professionally, who/what would it be?' They take their picture, and include it with their info. This allows their staff to get to know others throughout the organization who they may not meet, or have opportunity for interaction.
