Workplace Trends

> Managing employees is out, managing projects is in

> One size doesn't fit all - customization of employee policies and benefits is key to retaining star talent

> Response time is NOW - decision making must occur as events unfold not sometime after

> Tenure is no longer sacrosanct - performance IS the rule

> Communication must be pervasive without being intrusive

> The employee is the asset and company culture defines corporate presence

> Failure must be tolerated as a means to innovation while complacency must become cause for termination

> Retention must be focused less on keeping people around and more on keeping them connected to the company as a channel of continuous infusion of fresh knowledge

> Training should be the road to innovation - teach employees how to do their jobs but give them an incentive to change it

> Talented people seek to work at winning companies - terrific compensation only works to attract incredible talent if you have a winning company
