Creating the environment for success can
be replicated anywhere. One of the key ingredients for
success in the Internet Economy is workforce freedom.
Labor mobility is vital to a booming economy. At Cisco, we
create a work environment where people want to work. We have one of the lowest
voluntary turnover rates in industry and we recognize the importance of workers
who want to pursue other opportunities should be allowed to do so. A motivated
worker is a productive worker and that is good for the entire economy.
The ability of workers to freely leave for other opportunities
is:
I. Good
for the employee – leaving a job to find a situation
that an employee finds interesting or challenging produces
a good worker. Additionally, to keep employees happy, companies
often add benefits and perks.
II.
Good for the company – companies want motivated, happy
workers. These workers are more productive and add more
value than unhappy workers.
III.
Good for the shareholder – productive workers are
good for productivity, which, in turn, often leads to stock
appreciation.
IV.
Good for the economy – happy, productive workers
produce more goods, more efficiently.
