ACTIVITY
Record datePersonnel counted departures against the replacement ratio.
FOUR out, ONE in, very efficient People-ing!
Operations asked which of the four jobs the replacement would do.
They'll say who's doing the Work, I say the very GOOD Person we kept! Of course I want to know which one that is, don't just keep the fellow nearest the Printer.
The vacancy forecast is ahead of the service forecast.
Less Bureaucracy, not less Winning.
