Are you guilty of sticking in a few boring videos and calling it training?
Do you send in your department heads to deliver a few, rushed, canned presentations and call it orientation?
Are you then surprised when your new employees don't live up to your expectations, and your employee turnover numbers keep rising?
What if you took the time and money that you spend on employee recruitment and put it into employee training? Would it make a difference? Would it be worth the effort?
You Bet it Would!!
Take, for instance, The Container Store, who has made the top of Fortune magazine's "100 Best Companies to Work For" list for the 6th year in a row! In an employee's first year they offer over 241 hours of training Nike Air VaporMax Plus Triple White Uomo , far exceeding the training hours offered by other retail stores. In the next 18 months they are slated to open 5 more stores, creating over 6000 more jobs!
More impressively, the retail industry averages 150% employee turnover, but The Container Store averages only 25%!!
Learn also, from ACTS Retirement Life Communities, a Continuing Care Retirement Corporation, based in Pennsylvania with additional locations in Florida Nike Air VaporMax Plus Uomo Nere Italia , Georgia and North Carolina. Several years ago, retired CEO Rev. George Gunn launched a program to combat high employee turnover.
One components of that program was to launch ACTS Corporate University. The University offers 70 different courses to all employees of their company. "It's touching to watch some of our direct line employees walk across the stage, accepting their diploma for an 8 week class, so full of emotion for what they've accomplished," says Rev. Gunn.
Not only has the University helped their employees do a better job, there has been a tremendous reduction in employee turnover. Their turnover, which was 38% in the year 2000 Nike Air Vapormax CS Nere Uomo Italia , was already low for an industry that has a national average ranging from 40-100%. However, after implementing their program, which included the University, employee turnover landed at a low 17.5% in the year 2004. In addition, their employee satisfaction ratings AND their customer satisfaction ratings are extremely high.
Does it cost money to develop a training program that makes a difference? You bet! Is it worth it? No question!
Studies done by the Saratoga Institute estimate the cost of employee turnover to be between 100%-200% of the employee's salary. Spend the money up front with training and you could cut your recruitment costs - in both time and money - substantially. You'll also be ensuring that your employees are delivering the best service to your customers.
High Turnover, Bad Service - This is your company without training.
Low Turnover, Star Service - This is your company with training.

How $20,000 Unsecured Loans Can Be Approved With Great Rates Finance Articles | October 24, 2012 Even in the current economic climate, $20,000 unsecured loans can be approved to applicants with low credit scores. Reassuring lenders over defaulting fears is the key Nike Air VaporMax Flyknit Blu Orbit Italia Uomo , and there are ways to do so.
For many lenders, the risks involved in lending money to people with poor credit histories are enough to turn them off the idea. Traditional lenders are well known for being reluctant unless their exorbitant interest rates are accepted. But this does not mean that large loans, like a $20,000 unsecured loan, are impossible for a bad credit borrower.The lending industry is all about negotiation, so there are always ways around the problem of affordability. In order to get the best interest rates possible, this usually means making some preparatory moves so as to improve credit scores. It certainly means making some compromises on what would be preferable. In most cases Nike Air VaporMax Flyknit Uomo Nere Icy Blu , however, the matter of getting approval on large unsecured loans simply comes down to providing the kind of reassurance that every lender needs so as to feel confident repayments will be made on time. How Approval is Possible It does seem strange that at a time when approval of any kind of large loan is at a premium, that applicants can get a $20,000 unsecured loan at all. With unsecured lending, the only thing that lenders can go on is the promise that repayments will be made. This is why the loan is also sometimes called a signature loan. Secured loans, on the other hand, include collateral that can be used as compensation should the borrower fail to make good on their promise. This security must match the value of the loan principal Nike Vapormax KPU TPU Donne Viola , but is often enough to secure the best interest rates available. But there are ways to instill confidence in the lender even in the absence of any security. With large unsecured loans, the trick is to prove that income alone makes the repayments affordable. For example, having a low debt-to-income ratio means there is plenty of excess income to commit to the loan. If the applicant has been repaying a mortgage for some time, that also means they are highly unlikely to disappear. Repayment Terms It is also possible to get a $20,000 unsecured loan approved by structuring the repayment to ensure a low monthl.
