Saturday Odd Bits Roundup: Employee Care And Feeding
by Miki SaxonAhh, Saturday. A day to relax, read a few blogs, learn something and maybe take in a flick. And I have it all for you today.
First off we have the yin and yang of employee motivation and retention as brought to you by CIO and HR.BLR.COM.
Let’s start with CIO and an article that explains how corporate policies and procedures kill employee excitement, passion and innovative actions.
Then click over to read a white paper by the University of Scranton’s Sarah K. Yazinski describing how you can minimize turnover and increase positive attitude in the process.
And from a small business owner who grew his business from himself to three companies with combined employment of 104 people, a concise description of how he did it and his four keys to motivating his people. I like his attitude when he says, “There’s an old saying: “A fish rots from the head down.” Corollary: It also rocks from the top.”
Finally, the movie. The NY Times review of Steven Soderbergh’s The Informant! is very intriguing, but the reader comments will give you a more diverse view with which to make your final decision.
Enjoy your weekend!
