Musings

Imagine being the CEO of a company where all of your employees were A players and every single one of them wanted to stay at the company for at least the next 10 years. How would that feel? What would that mean?

• Employee turn-over would be zero
• Cost to replace lost people would be zero
• Cost to onboard new people into the company culture would be zero
• Cost to train and get new people up to speed would be zero
• Less naive mistakes made, and in general not as many mistakes would need to be made
• People would self-manage and therefore be easier to manage
• Salaries would not become inflated by high turn-over of staff
• People would be incrementally more productive for longer
• Referrals and word-of-mouth recruiting would improve
• Better customer and partner relationships

It's unrealistic but that's the ultimate aim of getting the company culture right.
