How to Find and Keep the Right Employees…Without Stealing from the Competition

Presented by Dr. Kathryne A. Newton

Webinar held Wednesday, May 21, 2008, 1 p.m.-2:30 p.m. (EST)

Distributors typically spend about half of their gross margin dollars on employee wages and benefits -- a huge investment. Yet they rarely invest a commensurate amount of time and energy on selecting and retaining them. Important management activities such as employee selection, screening, and programs for keeping employees motivated must all be working together effectively towards improving productivity. This seminar is a practical examination of practices that may be working against your organization rather than for it. It teaches the tools needed to hire and develop a highly motivated staff positioned for success.

Session Topics:
• Current Trends in Distribution Employment
• Recruiting for Success…without Stealing from the Competition!
• High Performance Hiring…Secrets of Savvy Interviewers
• Using Effective Feedback to Enhance Performance and Keep your Best Employees Happy

This Seminar will Teach you How to:
• Use Creative Recruiting Tactics
• Hire Employees that Meet Your Company's Needs
• Coach your Employees to High Performance
• Implement Strategies for Retaining your Best Employees
