“People-First BrandingSM is essential especially in this economic climate because it creates effective, confident staff members who gain skills to enhance their performance and the company’s bottom line,” Hefferren says. “By improving employees’ productivity and retaining the existing workforce, companies can boost revenue and eliminate expense related to talent acquisition — which, according to conservative estimates, is at least 1.5 times the position’s annual salary.”
