Being part of a Decision Associates’ Peer Group is a unique opportunity for a business owner. Rarely, if ever, do you have the opportunity to talk candidly about your business. This type of setting allows for those opportunities and fosters healthy business development/management discussions and leads to the creation of friendships that extend beyond the peer group setting.

Onboarding and Retention
Most managers think employees leave for money. Nearly 90% of employees say it is not. The top 4 reasons employees leave are:
- Too little coaching and feedback
- My relationship with my manager is not productive
- No real opportunity to grow
- Work is not challenging; they don’t use my skills and talents
We’ve all experienced watching a key employee promote themselves by accepting a position at another company. Most managers and owners try to win them back at the last moment, but the decision has already been made by the employee. This leaves business owners and managers wondering…
Could this have been avoided?
Is it something I said or did?
Is the rest of my staff going to stay?
How do I prevent this from happening in the future?
The new generations of employees have different mindsets, values and drivers from those of the baby boomers. They are known for their abilities to multi-task, embrace technology and continually want more. Finding the balance between managing their expectations and your company’s goals can be challenging. They require a more dynamic management style that understands how to engage them properly.
At Decision Associates, we can help you put together a development plan for each employee that will allow them to see a career path within your organization. By constructing a 3 to 5 year development plan, they will have a clear path to what skills are needed for them to be promoted internally. At the same time, you are able to build an engaged, stronger, more educated and more effective work force.
