Topic: Employee Motivation, Training and Retention

Motivated employees, that are well trained and satisfied with their job, give better service to their customers and tend to stay longer with that organization. However, that is easier said than done. Business and organizational leaders constantly struggle with the risk of losing their best employee(s).

Don Hicks, Regional Sales Manager-Ohio, for Vensure Employer Services, will dive deep into this challenge. Don will highlight the challenges businesses face in these areas, and will provide practical ideas of things you should be doing to protect your most valuable asset – Your Employees.

Chamber Business Blog
If your town is like most, there are several Facebook groups that have formed around living, working, and/or playing in your area. Some are private and you’ll need to request to join. Others are public. Some groups are loosely veiled business generators for community leaders or professionals (often real estate agents) who recognize how important it is to insert themselves into conversations about the community.

Facebook groups are an excellent way to grow your business. Here are a few ways to do this in an existing group.
