Find The Right Employees For Your Course

According to the About.com website, the top ten reasons that people quit their jobs are:

1. Company is experiencing a downward spiral.
2. Relationship with your manager is damaged beyond repair.
3. Life situation has changed.
4. Values are at odds with the corporate culture.
5. Stopped having fun and enjoying your job.
6. Company is ethically challenged.
7. Behaved in ways that are considered improper.
8. Burned your bridges with your coworkers.
9. Stress level is so high at work that it is affecting your physical or mental health.
10. Are challenged.

(Strangely, there isn’t anything listed about lack of compensation?)

Looking at a recent National Golf Foundation report, golf facility turnover is nearly 20 percent. Some experts have something to say about that.

Michael J. Kenney, for example, joined the PGA of America in 1997 and specializes in employment services consultation. With more than 40 years of business experience with the golf industry and Fortune 10 corporations, Kenney has much expertise on why anyone would want to work for your course.

Also, remember the PGA of America offers the expertise of nine regional PGA career consultants, who provide a structured and logical approach to assist in your search for a new golf professional. These employment experts are organized across the United States and have a good understanding of the regional nature of the industry and the national perspective. The career consultant’s objective is to guide you through the selection process and make it as easy as possible.

“Finding the right replacement for your departing golf professional can be tedious and time-consuming process,” says Kenney.

“This generation of employees tends to place importance on being treated fairly, paid appropriately, have interesting and challenging work and enjoying a positive work environment. Absent these characteristics – they quit. Unlike their parents who would “tough it out” and “try to make the best of it,” the coming workforce is very ready to move on to other opportunities. And to some extent, older employees are adopting those same basic tenets.”

In short he says, “employer loyalty is dead,” he continues.
