iPod Nano Winner Announced!

Thanks for all of the votes and great business tips, I have selected the winner of my iPod Nano, check out the video below to see who took it home!

 

Melanie Upchurch’s winning business tip: To secure some excellent employee relations, try letting them have a say in new hires for the company. (Kind of a recruitment process) Have applicants spend a day on the floor with employees, being trained, whatever it may be, and then have your current employees voice their opinion to upper level management. This way current employees have a greater since of loyalty and respect for the company because they know what kind of people you will be hiring in the future, and they feel as though they are contributing to the future of the company…they may be more likely to stick around. Bad mouthing and catty things should not be an issue because a. the employees don’t have the final say and b. they are most likely quality employees that you respect. Hope this helps at least a little with what you were looking for.

I’ve noted some honorable mentions below as well. Again, great tips everyone, I really appreciate the contribution to the post.

Mike HackmerThe best business tip is to hire well and trust your people to do their jobs. I think if you build a team of smart people, men and women who are good at their jobs and work well together, and possess the right balance of integrity and camaraderie, you will have a loyal workforce that sticks together and works as a team to make your business, their business…

I encourage you all to check out the rest of the business tips as well. There is some great content to take away from each, check out the tips here.
