Attraction and Retention

Great cultures, wages, benefits and people policies produce GREATER PROFITS….not less!
Higher sales/revenue, performance, profits and great people policies are not mutually exclusive
Fortune 500 organizations with great cultures and leadership are 105% more profitable than those without!
Similarly, companies with high engagement (coming from great people policies) are 2½ times more profitable!
Companies with highly engaged employees outperform those with low engagement by almost 5 times!

Is the Talent Gap also Due to the Inevitable LEAN Culture Implosion?

Another contributing answer for “Talent Gap Blindness” and the internal cultural talent problem can be found in Steve Gandara & Randall Benson of “Excellent Cultures” four part post on the inevitable LEAN Implosion (or any SixSigma, SAP, Kaizen, Continuous Improvement – CI processes). Through observation, historical documentation and reports like this, the international cultural dissonance between the LEAN concept of Japan’s Kaizen and its Americanized interpretation and implementation is profound and a killer of the positive cultural spirit.
