Bellingham , WA, Aug.6, 2018 \u2013 When a company loses an employee making $50,000 a year, it can cost that company a minimum of $25,000. And the U.S. Department of Labor reports that 3.5 million people quit their job in April 2018\u2014many who are highly qualified with sought-after talents or badly needed laborers in the manufacturing and construction industries.<\/p>\n
Studies show the top three reasons for this surprisingly high level of attrition are the employee: not understanding the company; not comprehending the job duties; and having a \u201cbad boss.\u201d While the cost of attrition can be staggering, the power to change the statistics are within the companies control.<\/p>\n
In Harmony Training (IHT)<\/strong> is focused on developing new and emerging leaders in a wide variety of industries and minimizing attrition. Founder\/CEO Harmony Thiessen has been training leaders for 30 years in more than 20 countries. Her career began assisting indigenous leaders in developing countries create sustainable community business models. Her work included negotiations with government and tribal officials in African, South American and Eastern European countries.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cWith 25% of mission-critical employees at risk for turnover, it\u2019s imperative that their employers give them the tools they need to build their careers before<\/em> they feel the need to pull the plug,\u201d Thiessen said. \u201cThey\u2019re not only working for money; in today\u2019s workplace there\u2019s a need to find meaning and significance in one\u2019s job.\u201d<\/p>\n IHT Courses are aimed at giving trainees the tools and the concepts to build a strategic and actionable plan to enhance their work environment and productivity.
