Challenging traditional attitudes about retaining workers, author and consultant Gregory P.

The author provides practical solutions that will help companies: **Create great attitudes for making workers more reliable. **Increase motivation and creativity to keep top people from jumping ship. **Develop a flexible environment to boost productivity and satisfaction. **Respond to changes while making continual improvements. **Generate profits through increased customer satisfaction. **Save money by not having to replace workers.
