Why The People vs Profits Debate is Wrong

Should you focus on profits or people? The truth is that these two are not mutually exclusive. To get to profits, you need to start by focusing on your people. Think about where your profits come from. Profits come from your employees who are building relationships with customers and selling more products. So remember that people and profits are not two opposing forces that are meant to battle each other. They are almost one and the same to get to higher growth. Invest in your people and their experience because they are the ones who will go above and beyond to create opportunities. --------------------- This episode is sponsored by Namely, the all in-one HR solution that makes life easier for your employees, your boss and you!
