| LAS VEGAS, NV, November 8, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- America’s most successful businesses all offer generous pay and benefits, interesting work, flexible schedules, friendly offices, open communication and the chance to learn and grow, according to Paul Villella, CEO of HireStrategy, a top-ranked staffing firm based in the Washington, DC area.
Villella told the annual conference of the National Association of Computer Consultant Businesses (NACCB) today that businesses, particularly professional services companies, are all about people.
"All great places to work provide flexible schedules, good pay and benefits, employee development, interesting work, employee recognition, supportive managers, open communication and an emphasis on teamwork," Villella told the NACCB audience. NACCB is the association representing the nation’s IT staffing and solutions firms.
Villella said that recruiting and retaining top talent is the #1 challenge facing all companies today. "But money alone does not guarantee employee loyalty. Company culture is immensely important in retaining and motivating employees."
"A company must not only be committed to financial success, but to being a place where high ethical standards and business practices are greatly valued and where employees' community service and volunteerism is both encouraged and rewarded."
Villella said that HireStrategy owes much of its success – it has been recognized as one of the nation's fastest growing privately-held firms and has been honored as one of Washington's "Great Places to Work" – to the company's culture, which he calls "the HireStrategy Experience".
Villella noted that fostering a positive work environment is especially important for firms that are in transition: "Employers need to stay close to their employees during uncertain times. Employers should be supportive and assure employees that they will do everything they can to help them and the company succeed. Employers should not let rapid growth or organizational changes undermine a positive workplace environment."
