The Hold’em Approach

You can’t manage what you don’t measure.

Recruit – If you think it’s expensive hiring experts, try hiring amateurs.

Experts estimate that up to fifty percent of employee turnover is caused by bad decisions made during the hiring process, either by the applicant or by the hiring manager. Our in-depth Talent Acquisition Assessment helps evaluate your current hiring process, recommend modifications that will both enhance and streamline your current methods, and create new recruitment metrics to show the Return on Investment of your selection process.

Expand your pool of potential candidates, improve your online application process, institute competency models for a particular job or job family, add pre-employment tests and assessments, or train your managers to conduct behavioral interviews. Employee Hold’em has the tools and expertise to enhance your current processes or design a new one from scratch.

Retrain- You have to train your employees so they can leave, or else they’ll leave.

Employees who receive work related training and development are 50% more likely to stay longer, work harder, and recommend the organization as a great place to work.

Employee Hold’em provides training and development services for supervisors and managers that help them recognize their role in workforce engagement, employee satisfaction, and employee retention. Whether personalized one-on-one coaching, the development opportunities of The Dream Manager program, or STARS (Supervisor Training for Associate Retention and Success) based on Marc Drizin’s second book Employee Engagement Fundamentals, Employee Hold’em services improve the knowledge, skills, and competencies of the manager, and improves their engagement as well.

What if you train your employees and they leave? What if you don’t train them and they stay?

Reward – Recognize Effort, Reward Success

Employee Hold’em provides consulting solutions that help take the guess-work out of rewarding and recognizing the people in your company.

Based on the concepts put forth in Marc’s newest book, Designing Employee Recognition Programs, the Talent Recognition Assessment evaluates the depth and breadth of your existing reward and recognition process, recommends changes designed to enhance the benefits to the employees and positive impact on the organization, and creates reward and recognition metrics that show the positive impact these programs have on retention, productivity, and customer satisfaction.

According to Employee Hold’em’s last national benchmark on employee engagement, fewer than half of today’s employees believe their managers ensure that the best employees receive the greatest rewards. What would your employees say?

Retain – Employees stay because they are engaged. They aren’t engaged because they stay.

Two thirds of today’s employees plan to stay with their organization for the next two years. That’s the good news. But a sizable number of these employees are staying because they have to, not because they want to. The verb makes all the difference

Employee Hold’em’s Workforce Engagement Assessment provides the information you need to improve the satisfaction, engagement, and retention of your employees. Engagement not only affects the retention of your employees, but directly impacts their quality orientation, productivity, desire to go the extra mile for customers, be an active member of their team, doubt negative information they hear about your organization in the press, and actively seek out job offers.
