They’re forecasting record highs here in Michigan today – although it’s cloudy and overcast.  People will still be out in shorts with their car windows and sunroofs open.  Hope you have a great day!

Want a Competitive Advantage? Look Towards Your Employees

employeearmymilIn these tough economic times we hear about layoffs almost every day on the news.  There’s no denying that sometimes a company has to cut employees to survive for the long run.  However, I think that companies often are quick to cut employees because they are viewed as a cost to the company instead of a valuable resource.

Who has in depth information about your company?  Who is your face to customers?  Who knows how the nuts of bolts of your company works better than anyone?  That’s right.  Your employees.

Want to know how to make your business run efficiently in a recession?  Want to know what new things to try to get customers?  Try talking to your employees.  They probably have some great ideas.  And keeping them involved in your company will make them want to work harder for its success.
