Monday Morning Muses - June 8, 2008 - Workforce development and gas cards

Last week my friend Rick sent me a thought provoking presentation about developing our workforce. Here's a few points from the presentation to whet your whistle. I'd encourage you to take a few moments of your time to view the full presentation. The competition we're facing isn't local it's global and it's getting ready to pass us....

Sometimes size does matter.
- If you’re one in a million in China . . .
- There are 1,300 people just like you.
- In India, there are 1,100 people just like you.
- The 25% of the population in China with the highest IQ’s . . .
- Is greater than the total population of North America.
- In India, it’s the top 28%.
- Translation for teachers:
- They have more honors kids than we have kids.

Wanted to share a great morale booster idea for your employees I overheard at a recent gathering..

With the rise in gas prices, consider providing a monthly gas card ($50) to all your employees as a offset to their increased commuting costs, it's a great way to remind them that you care..


Peace out,
