Love Them or They’ll Leave You
50% of Employees to Change Jobs in the Next 12 Month
September 2009 -
With the end of the Global Financial Crisis in sight, many business owners are breathing
a sigh of relief but there is one thing they still need to be very careful about. All those
pay freezes and budget cuts have taken their toll and it is estimated that 50% of
employees are planning to jump ship. Rather than exposing a business to the risk of
losing it most valuable asset; its staff, VictorsFood offers a much better alternative.
VictorsFood Director Victor Pisapia says, “What we recommend is that companies book in
for an ‘End of GFC’ booster session. Our cooking teambuilding events offer a genuine
opportunity for upper management to interact with their staff on a level playing field. We
can build important key messages into the event so if a company wants to express
appreciation and gratitude to its people, this is a great way to do it because cooking
creates a great buzz amongst participants and also allows people to let down their
defences. Too often managers leave it too late and end up with staff who are
unmotivated, unhappy and will tell anyone who will listen how much they hate their job. Teambuilding creates a positive atmosphere with the added benefit of being motivational
and uplifting.”
Enrico Coiera, Director of the Centre for Health Informatics says, “With a new team to
pull together, several coming from interstate or overseas, I needed to find a way to help
them bond, and build work relationships that would sustain them beyond the 9 to 5. Our
VictorsFood team building experience gave me all I wanted and more. The day itself was
all that was promised, entertaining, engrossing, and tasty. But the payoff was in the
weeks and months that followed. I had started with a group of individuals who were
being polite to their new colleagues. I now had a team that had an experience over
which they bonded, and were now doing the running all themselves, at work and after
work. I could not be more pleased.”
Business owners shouldn’t hesitate to get their team back on track before they start to
head off in the direction of the competition. To book your VictorsFood teambuilding event call
