There are many businesses who have long-term employees. In these times, it’s less popular for an individual to spend their entire professional career at a single company, however, there are many who have remained at their companies since the early days of their careers.  The question is this: Is the 20+ year veteran of your company both loyal and engaged? 

Living in Michigan, we have a little rivalry that will play out tomorrow in East Lansing, and I’d like to present you with some interesting facts related to the loyalty of the respective universities to their head coaches. 

The other day, I called a business that could potentially use my services…one with poor Glassdoor.com ratings and multiple job openings.  That’s known as a “two-for” in my world.  The person who answered the phone treated me like I was about to offer overpriced root canals.

It’s time for companies to not only foster and value strong engagement within their employee base, they need to demand it from their suppliers as well.  Doing so will drive more profits than ill-fated attempts at driving down costs through methods that destroy engagement, loyalty, and profits.
