Editorial Review Product Description Here Today, Here Tomorrow shows people how to create work environments that attract, retain, and motivate their workforce to higher levels of performance. The book outlines the eight elements of a high-retention workplace, provides a detailed, step-by-step retention strategy, and shows you how to implement it. It also offers dozens of case studies and hundreds of tips and ideas from a wide range of industries and businesses. This information will help you reduce turnover costs, improve retention, and increase job satisfaction. Two Important Themes Permeate this Book First, retention matters. A continual effort to replace departing workers-keeping the revolving door full, instead of stopping it altogether-is bleeding businesses dry. It's expensive to constantly replace people. The cost of attracting, recruiting, hiring, training, and getting new people up to speed is tremendously more costly and more wasteful than most realize. Second, productivity is directly tied to retention. Companies with high turnover are at risk for low productivity. 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. In this book, you'll read about companies with work environments that attract and retain people-and where people are willing to give their best. These environments aren't expensive. In fact, they save money. In most cases, they improve retention and productivity without lavish salaries or bonuses. And they certainly lower the expense of continually hiring and training new people. You Will Receive Loads of Practical Advice and Tons of Retention Tips and Ideas Unlike many books that only offer theory and generalities, this book provides practical advice and ideas from a wide range of businesses and industries. The author is a management consultant and works with hundreds of organizations. Here Today has captured this experience and makes the application process simple for you. If you are a manager, you will appreciate the many tips provided to you at the end of each chapter. They will help you become a better manager. Here Today, Here Tomorrow Will Show You How To . . .

Here Today,Here Tomorrow
Terrific Management Training Tool
Great Information For Managers/Management Students 1.Purpose. People want to be part of an organization that stands for something that provides them with personal fulfillment and meaning.Singapore International Airlines (SIA) prides itself on customer service.They improved retention ratios by placing more time and effort in the selection and training of employees and aligned the training to support the organization’s mission goal of providing excellent customer service.Today when customers are happy, they express their appreciation to SIA employees who are proud of being on the SIA team. Smith provides dozens of suggestions from high-retention organizations to create a meaningful work environment where employees are proud, happy, and more productive. 3. Work schedules and benefits that allow work/life balance.The downsized, super competitive work environment of today often forces employees into putting their family in a secondary position.The Randstad North American Employee Review recently found in a t survey that only 34 percent of the American employees now want a traditional full-time job.Smith provides methods used by high-retention organizations in meeting employees’ expectations, reducing employee turnover rates, and increased productivity/loyalty. 4. Honest, updated information and communication.In 1995, the Boeing Company suffered its second-longest walkout ever when the Machinists Union led a 69-day strike.Boeing lost hundreds of millions of dollars and experienced big customer service headaches when they missed the delivery dates on 36 planes.Boeing’s President, Frank Shrontz, later acknowledged the strike was a result of management’s failure to communicate with the workforce about their concerns.UPS provides another example where they lost over $700 million in revenues and lost customer trust when UPS failed to communicate with their workforce.No one wins in these situations and Smith shares strategies used by high-retention organizations to prevent miscommunications. 5. People want to enjoy their work environment.Some work is simply routine but Smith’s findings suggesting providing employees something to talk about – future goals they can conquer or results that have been achieved.Sports teams keep players motivated this way.Often organizational bureaucracy kills the spirit and ideas of employees who want to contribute.Smith offers best practices that can charge the spirit with organizations. 6. Performance Management.Numerous suggestions are provided on ways to improve employee performance and productivity.He illustrates methods that have been successful in motivating migrant workers as well as senior executives. 7.Rewards and recognition.All humans need to feel appreciated and in a survey conducted by Robert Half, International, the results showed that recognition and praise was the number one reason employees stay in their work environment with fair compensation being secondary.Smith’s book provides low-cost, easy to implement “fair” recognition programs that keep people focused and heading in the right direction. 8. Employees migrate to training and career development opportunities.If employees are blocked into a specific or dead end job with no opportunity for promotion or variety, they will leave – especially Gen X and Gen Y workers. An ASTD study showed that leading-edge companies trained 86 percent of the employees whereas average companies trained only 74 percent.Companies that invest in workplace learning yielded higher net sales per employee and higher gross profits per employees.Smith suggests holding HR and training departments responsible for results and provides numerous suggestions an organization can ramp up their learning culture. This book provides numerous suggestions - many low cost - on ways to turn an average organization into a highly productive, low-turnover environment where managers can focus on productivity --- not recruiting and replacing an endless stream of workers.This book is a must read for all managers, coaches and HR personnel interested in strategic growth and higher productivity.

Editorial Review Product Description Dr. Chad Collins and his close friend Dr. Juan Velasco are caught up in a conspiracy at King-Clemente HMO. Mel Levine, president of the HMO and his cohort of unethical doctors, lawyers and accountants have discovered a way to deny medical care and increase profitability. By by-passing medical decisions and using the Final Review process designed by lawyers and accountants, they can calculate when it is cost-effective to refuse care or delay it. One of Dr. Velasco’s patients was denied care because of the Final Review process and dies shortly afterwards. When Dr. Velasco and Dr. Collins start to snoop around the Final Review department they are fired and their careers are destroyed. Only Julia Jones, a novice attorney at the hospital, can help them uncover the truth. She has a thing for Chad, but is more interested in protecting her career than in a relationship. After various twists and turns Chad gets caught trying to download the vital information that he needs to uncover the conspiracy. Julia finds out that it could be the end for Chad if she doesn’t risk everything and come to his aid. In so doing she realizes how deeply she cares for him. In a wonderful blend of surprise and revelation Chad’s long history of integrity and honesty wins out over the conniving and manipulative Mel Levine and his partners in crime. Customer Reviews (1)
