The Importance of "Steady Eddies"

Presented by

By ignoring "Steady Eddies" - the 90% of the workforce who are competent, steady performers, but who remain outside of the limelight - managers ignore those employees who provide the stability, knowledge, and long-term perspective they need to survive.  If ignored these reliable workers will eventually leave, taking their expertise and strong work ethic with them.  Roz will offers tips on how you can create a culture of recognition.
