Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results.

Number one desire of employees as surveyed right now is flexibility. They want flexibility here’s what I would add to it though, I would add the non monetary expenses, non monetary incentives I should say. What I mean by that is you know help arrange for child care tell them that you’ll reimburse them for a dog walker to take care of Sparky back at home, help them with... Google sends a bus back and forth through certain neighborhood that are highly populated with their employees that they could take back and forth to work. So, I would be much more creative, I will get outside the box and find out what is it that you need from me, what can I, how can the company support some of the needs you have in your lifestyle that you need to solve in order to comeback and you know it’s not that everyone doesn’t want to work, I mean that’s the narrative (oh) you know they have all this money, nobody’s want to work. That’s not the case, people want to be productive but the world has changed and employers are going to need to look at the overall compensation package not just salary and salaries not just money. It’s the non monetary incentives as well, so we’re gonna have to get a little more creative in how we create that work environment for the employee.
