What do workers want?

What is happening? Previous wisdom was that workers wanted the best pay. Turns out predictability and the opportunity to grow are equally as important.

Why is this important? Social scientists will tell us that predictability means happier, healthier employees. By way of example, researchers point to a food manufacturer that often hired workers that did not speak English. The company then  partnered with an adult education organization providing classes, including courses in English, financial literacy and U.S. citizenship. Employee retention improved & company saw a 123% return on investment
