When an employee’s work for you becomes routine for them, he will often start thinking of his position as just another job for just another company. Suddenly, “the grass is always greener” comes into play and your employee starts seeing better possibilities outside of your company.
We all remember the excitement of finding a great new job: the potential of what the future may bring, the challenge of learning new tasks or roles, and the opportunity to meet new and interesting people. Even knowing that this excitement rarely lasts long before it, too, becomes routine doesn’t stop people from changing jobs.
Retention of your employees requires your attention and time. If you’ve done much hiring, you already know that recruiting takes much more time and money than retention. Turnover can be disastrous to your employees’ morale, your company’s knowledge base, your budget, and your production schedule. But how do you re-engage your employees in an effort to stop or prevent turnover?

However, as I'm sure a lot of you all ready know, there are some pretty crappy trainers out there floating around. This can be good or bad. Bad because we must battle these "experts" in the ongoing quest of informing the public with good information and trying to throw out the bad.

The problem with most successful business owners is that they tend to be control freaks. That can be both good and bad. Micromanagement has it’s place in the corporate structure but can also be a two-edged sword.

Very few businesses can claim to be prepared for the loss of key staff. Quite often it is an unexpected and unplanned for event that causes quite a bit of disruption to business as usual.It is quite a gut wrenching experience to see someone you have worked with over a period of time leaving your business. Even if the parting of ways is on good terms with a period of handover, you just know that there is so much information walking out the door with your former employee and there is nothing you can do about it.And this is only just the beginning…While labouring through a period of being understaffed and overworked you are then faced with the task of recruiting a new employee to fill the vacant position. This is followed by the inevitable probation

Discovery Days evolved after hearing feedback during managers’ meetings. The managers complained about the lack of shared knowledge between departments. What I discovered wasn’t unusual. As small companies grow, it’s easy for each department (or employee) to become so involved in meeting deadlines or doing the job that the big picture is lost.
Knowing why you are doing a task or job helps keep it interesting. You are no longer standing on a production line watching for a below-standard product to roll by. You are the last line of defense for the company, ensuring that customers will receive an above-standard product that cures their problem. The only way your employee is going to understand their role in the bigger picture is if you explain it.
Discovery Days is possible whether you have multiple departments or just multiple employees. The concept is rather simple; talking management into participating can take a little more effort.
