Team Builder's Workshop™

“100% Customer Satisfaction begins with
100% Employee Satisfaction…which begins with you!”

Welcome to The TEAM Builder’s Workshop™

At The TEAM Builder’s Workshop™ we specialize in Employee Retention. As today’s workforce becomes more and more difficult to attract, you must focus on developing and retaining the employees you already have.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects there will be an estimated shortage of 6 million employees in the U.S. workforce in 2008. Even more alarming is their projection that there will be 58 million unfilled jobs by 2010.

The implication is obvious. Quality employees are already scarce and their scarcity will continue to grow. Therefore it is imperative for you, the business leader to develop comprehensive methods to retain your quality employees. But how?

By creating job satisfaction through the process of Team Building.

Building a Team of enthusiastic employees is a daunting task, but once you master the process your rewards will be endless. There are Four Universal Factors that contribute to Employee Retention:

• Assignments that are challenging and rewarding. Don’t make it a job, make it an adventure. The average employee will change careers an average of 7 times before they retire. Wouldn’t you rather be employer #7 than simply another stop along their path?
• The opportunity to learn new methods & procedures. Success oriented employees do not want to be stuck in a dead end job. Do You?
• Working with an outstanding Leader. The number 1 reason most employees leave their job is not for more money, it is because of poor quality supervision.
• Being part of a worthwhile Team. The essence of Team Building begins with two people learning how to work together and then building upon the synergy this union creates.

Today’s X & Y generation employees will never understand the term Job Security, but with these four factors firmly in place, your staff will be less likely to become dissatisfied and seek employment elsewhere. As they partner with your Team, a family-like atmosphere will develop and work becomes a pleasure, not a necessary evil.

Employee retention has never been so critical. Your success or your failure depends upon the decisions you make every day. Welcome to The Team Builder’s Workshop™. You have taken the first step in determining whether you are a Boss or a Leader. I’m certain you will make the right choice.
