Hire and Keep the Right People with Jason Cupp

Tonight Jason will discuss "How to Hire and Keep the Right People".

As you all know finding good help in the green industry is a very difficult and expensive process and just when you think that you have the right person in the right position they wind up leaving to work for themselves or another company. Hiring "warm bodies" is no longer an option nor can you trust resumes or referrals. Although it may seem to make sense to place an ad on Craigs List, Monster.com or Career Builder chances are that you will end up in the same place as you were last year - still looking for good people and trying to figure out how to make them stay.

As the former CEO of the landscape firm Highland Outdoor, and now a Kolbe Certified Growth Consultant Jason will discuss some of the problems business owners face when hiring employees. He will also discuss various solutions about how to find the right people and keep them working for you for many, many years.

Some of the topics he will discuss are:

• How and where to find good employees
• Is it the employee or is it the owner?
• The right person for the right position
• What employees want from their jobs
• How to create a great team
• Raises aren't always the answer
• Characteristics of a great employee
• What is Kolbe?
