Most companies tend to conduct yearly reviews with their employees to ensure both the employee & the employer are confident in each other going into another year. But, do you think that’s enough? Or should reviews/feedback be given more often? #polloftheweek #feedback #reviews 

Our three founders & partners were able to get together in upstate New York to celebrate a monument life moment for one of partners families! The relationship that they created is the foundation of our mission statement, Building Relationships that Last a Lifetime. Since meeting in 1982, the relationship built between this trio is something that doesn’t come around often. From monumental business ventures to monumental life events, they continue to ensure that their own relationship will last a lifetime and that this also holds true for each of our AP consultants. #relationships #connections #networking #strongfoundation

You’ve heard the statement, “people don’t leave jobs, they leave managers” and it is pretty spot on! A U.S. research and polling organization, Gallup, showed that 70% of an employee’s motivation is influenced by their managers.

It is important that businesses take their time in hiring their managers/leaders – the wrong choice could cost them thousands of dollars in hiring spend & a lot of headaches.
