Mel Wildermuth’s Summary

We are here to make your company the best in the use of the human resource. The highest cost to most companies are human. Statistics show that companies train their most costly resourse less than two weeks within an entire year. While turnover costs increase (a $50,000 position can take up to $75,000 to fill along with the lost time of productivity), many companies are reducing training budgets. However, the numbe one reason for people to leave positions are relationship based - they cannot work with their manager or team leader. Research is so very important to our company so we make available to you the most recent information about personality, team building, leadership, engagement, and other areas. We believe that we can offer you even more as we work to become a train-the-trainer company and offer our programs, games, and simulations for sale. Your trainers can then be using imaginative games and simulations and the rock solid research to minimize cost and increase the bottom line for your company by retaining the resource that is vital to your company's success. You can obtain, however, training from seasoned world-wide presenters at this company as well if you wish outside consultants. We have authored several professional articles and had them published - the last being in T & D Magazine, January 2008. Free articles can be obtained by visiting www.theeffectivenessgroup.com. A book on employee engagement is on the way as is another publication on Conversity (trademarked), which explains how powerful teams can be developed. We are here to serve you and make your company better by lowering your turnover rate and creating a level of communication and vocabulary that will allow your most costly resource to function at a more productive level.
