Hi, my name is Stephen Walker, and today I want to talk to you about Doubling your Profit. Does it sound like a good aim? That depends where your property is, of course. But there’s some genuine research here done by Gallup. You’ve heard of Gallup, of course. They did a survey of United States-based companies because they do a lot of employee engagement surveys over there, and they compared the results of the employee engagement survey with the company’s financial results.

While I’m not enthusiastic about paying people less than the going rate, I know that a salary rise only gives a short-term incentive. It takes about six weeks for the pay rise to become the new normal pay.
