Possibly the #1 Way to Attract and Retain Top Talent for Your Company Amid the Great Resignation [Besides a Strong Financial Package, Incentives, and a Healthy Environment]!  

About one year ago, I penned an article, "Now Hiring? 3 Ways to Attract and Maintain High-Performance Employees!" I want to highlight one aspect of that article: having a proactive strategy to help employees avoid burning out and improving the quality of their work life. Put simply, tiring out and ultimately burning out is arguably the number one reason employees leave an organization.

Have you ever volunteered a price reduction before someone asked for it? Have you ever felt personally validated because someone decided to buy from you? Have you ever felt less than okay about yourself because somebody didn’t decide to buy from you? 

If the answer to any of these questions was “Yes,” you should be aware that you let your buyer into your personal headspace, where the buyer didn’t belong. You chose to become emotionally involved in the sales process. And you know what? That usually doesn’t end well.
