Hire, Engage & Retain the Right People
About Nelson Scott
Speaker & Trainer/Consultant/Facilitator/Author
I work with leaders who are committed to hiring, engaging and retaining the right people.
A full-time consultant, speaker, trainer and author for more than two decades, Nelson sees his programs and writing as opportunities to remind audiences and readers what they already know and to challenge them to build on their knowledge. The goal is to make the right hiring decisions and use staff recognition to increase employee engagement and reduce staff turnover.
GREAT Staff Recognition
Boost morale, increase engagement and improve retention with simple, inexpensive staff recognition that is Genuine, Relevant, Explicit, Appropriate and Timely (and frequent).
Evidence-Based Hiring
Look for clues in applicants’ resumés and use interviews and reference checks to gather evidence of what they have done in the past to identify the right people to add to your team.
