Good employees are the lifeblood of a successful organization. What’s your plan for keeping your best talent?

Join Kyle Roed as he speaks with Jeff Kortes, Founder of Human Asset Management LLC.  They cover the topics of retention, leadership, and making sure you aren't left in the dust by your employees.  

About Jeff: 

My work as an employee retention speaker, author and trainer springs from 30 years’ experience in human resources and labor relations. I’ve seen the good, the bad, and the downright unbelievable in how employers treat their workers. I’ve worked alongside some great people and, all too often, seen great people walk out the door.

What’s the key to employee retention? Not just good pay, to be sure. Employees need to feel valued, validated and challenged. An annual “Employee Appreciation Luncheon” won’t cut it. You need an ongoing, systematic approach that involves every level of management … with full buy-in from those managers.

My knowledge comes from hard-earned experience. I dealt with a workplace fatality as a 25-year-old HR manager. I’ve closed three facilities, navigated a strike, and worked through a corporate buyout. Put together, I've probably witnessed more turmoil than 10 HR people combined. My book “Welcome to Dodge” details the harrowing, the weird, and the inexplicable from those years in the personnel trenches.

I enjoy seeing leaders grow into “Great Bosses” whom employees appreciate and respect. Focused, energized leadership can turn organizations into employee retention “magnets.” My presentations, books and blog posts provide guidance; my training and consulting works directly with organizations to implement strategies and processes for retaining top talent.

Tired of seeing good employees leave to work elsewhere? Let’s talk about transforming your organization into a place where workers want to stay, not escape. E-mail me at [email protected], or visit www.jeffkortes.com for more details.
