1. How to Get the Most Out of Your Employees

It's sad but true: most organizations know more about the value of their desks and chairs than they do their people, according to PeopleStreme.

If managers say that employees are their greatest assets, why do they:

Read their emails daily
Pay their bills monthly
Check their inventory quarterly
Service their machinery semi-annually
But check engagement and performance of their people only once a year?

Human capital practices have not caught up with financial management practices and are still tuned to the Industrial Age.

Watch this extraordinary video that contrasts the gap between the way employees are currently managed and how they need to be managed to maximize productivity and profitability.
