"People Report^TM" Initiates Best Practice!

Dallas, Texas-based People Report™ launched its Web site www.peoplereport.com in conjunction with its annual member conference. Arguably the premier restaurant industry human resource "best practices" firm, People Report™ has experienced a tremendous surge in membership, with some 50 leading companies focusing on recruiting and retention. PR, which tracks member turnover statistics and recruiting costs, uses this intelligence to develop best practices that cut turnover, consequently reducing recruiting costs. The site is packed with great charts, tables, and examples of how collected information is utilized to develop winning strategies.

President Joni Doolin, who launched People Report™ in 1995, told this editor she believes companies have to be more active in recruiting young people into the management of their organizations. While developing and promoting current managers and employees are good for morale and reducing turnover, this strategy eventually reaches a point of diminishing returns. Doolin says the challenge is to increase the number of people entering the business.

Congrats to Maggiano's Little Italy and Texas Land & Cattle, winners of People Report's™ retention awards this year.
