Microsoft Cuts 18,000 Jobs — more on this below, including a link to CEO Satya Nadella's "vision" memo to all employees…but first:
PPR Hires 7000 — It's better to hire the right people in the first place. Now, imagine having to hire more than 7,000 per year! This is exactly the challenge that Dwight Cooper, CEO of nurse staffing firm PPR Talent Management, and his team face every year while maintaining a culture of excellence. PPR is one of only two organizations that have landed on the national list of America's "Best Places to Work" for 10 consecutive years. And in 2013, PPR was honored to be named the #1 Best Place to Work in America (small business category).
80% vs. 20% Success — PPR Talent Management, using the Topgrading interviewing and selection process, has achieved an 80% success rate vs. 20% before using Topgrading. This is why PPR recently trained 40 of its recruiters via Gazelles Growth Institute's (GGI) online Topgrading Master Course. Here is a link to their 3 min video case study (scroll down and to the right on the landing page).
15x Salary — this is the cost of hiring the wrong person. Get one (or several) in your organization trained on Topgrading – right from the comfort of their desk or home. A new Topgrading Master Class session starts August 14th. As a leader, you are painfully aware of the huge costs of hiring people who turn out to be mediocre or worse. Topgrading offers the only hiring method on that routinely triples hiring success, with CEOs consistently saying Topgrading made the company more successful. Topgrading also provides the single best opportunity for Human Resources to make a huge contribution to the company. If interested in the Topgrading Master course — send an email to [email protected] to request the course syllabus.
Accreditation — The Gazelles Growth Institute (GGI) is proud to announce it is now an accredited institution for corporate and business learning by AdvanceEd! Starting now, every Topgrading participant for this Quarter 3 session will be sent (by FedEx) an official, recognized, framed Certificate of Mastery in Topgrading for having completed the course. Sign up for the GGI weekly video of the week to keep updated on upcoming notices.
Chamber of Commerce program — GGI's Chamber of Commerce program is kicking off in full force. GGI now has online education partnerships with chambers including Manhattan, Memphis, Oakville (Canada), and Henderson with more coming onboard to offer their local members first class web-based training and development. Contact [email protected] if you belong to a Chamber of Commerce to discuss the possibilities of bringing the discount program to your area. Program includes monthly free course viewings as well as discounted prices on all-inclusive Corporate Programs. Try out the free screenings we host here:
