The growing employee productivity divide

Posted on 10. Feb, 2009 by admin in Employee productivity tips, Expert speakers

This employee productivity site is sponsored by The 845 Club. They asked us to highlight a post from Seth Godin as his comments were exactly the reason they came up with the idea of their business. In fact – bizarrely, the business idea was born just 3 days before Seth posted his thoughts… so maybe it’s worth checking out their video-based e-course on employee productivity?

Hopefully you’ve heard of the great Seth Godin – marketer and blogger extraordinaire… well if you haven’t – look him up – the man talks sense!

In particular, he talks a lot of sense in a post back in October 2008. The last paragraph is below…

Can you imagine someone who works in a factory that processes metal not knowing how to use a blowtorch? How can you imagine yourself as a highly-paid knowledge worker and not know how to do these things… If you don’t, it’s not hard to find someone to teach you.

You can see what ‘these things‘ are in his post, here.
