The glue to keep your best employees… [VIDEO]
According to BambooHR®, one-third of your people plan on dumping you in the next six months. Yikes.
This begs the question, what kind of glue do you need to make sure your very best employees stick with you during a time of accelerated “employee poaching?”
More Profit and Productivity with Fewer People [VIDEO]
With the current competition for good people, it’s never been more important for you to elevate the productivity per employee.

A Proven Strategy to Attract More Profitable Customers [VIDEO]
Do you have a proven strategy to attract more profitable customers?
No, this strategy isn’t to hire more lenders.
No, this strategy isn’t about stealing the guy from next door.

Those are all tactics. Those are not strategies.
Better executive decisions in half the time [VIDEO]
Most bank executives take entirely too long to make poor business decisions.

More than a feeling—how bank culture drives profit [VIDEO]
Does bank culture really matter? Gallup is telling us that if you have an average amount of disengagement, it will rob $3,400 from your bottom line for every $10,000 of payroll.
So YES, culture is a big deal.
