Investing—What Pays Off?

“It’s not about the dollars you invest. It’s about the people you invest in.”

I don’t remember where I read that, but it’s certainly true.

Some bosses invest in their companies—they buy new hardware, upgrade development software, customer service and other IT systems, improve the physical environment, etc., etc.

They spend to improve their company’s bottom line.

They don’t spend much on training.

They believe the money spent building and growing people provides marginal return, while increasing turnover.

Great bosses invest in their people—they encourage learning new skills, cross-train, provide access to educational opportunities, etc., etc.

In return they have a highly creative, fully engaged, hyper-productive workforce.

They know people may leave if there are no internal growth opportunities, but great bosses cheer them on.

They know that people leave for many reasons, but when the reason is positive then the buzz is positive.

And positive buzz enhances both the boss’ and the company’s street rep.
