You are about to discover 5 actionable strategies to help you find—and keep—the best employees without spending the GDP of Uzbekistan in payroll. Fear not, none of the 5 strategies are about base salary, benefits or bribing.


Tink more effective and less expensive. Imagine your company as the sole provider; the sole source of something special that your employees are desperately looking for and can’t find anywhere else.


Secret #1 - Build a Community -


NOT A Workforce Chances are you are not hiring people for their first job. Some are even coming from a job they hate. A job that paid the bills and nothing else. Invite prospective employees to join a community—not to sign up for another less-than-fantastic job.


When you create a community of people with shared values that care about each other, the tendency to steal, quit, come in late, complain, whine or partake in other non-superfantastic behavior decreases exponentially.

Induced Why Producers Are Making the Switch to Protassium+


Many turf producers supply their turfgrass with fertilizers that contain high levels of potassium and chloride. While high potassium content is beneficial, high chloride content often leads to turf burn and increased stress. To avoid the detrimental effects of chloride, turf producers have turned to Protassium+™ premium sulfate of potash (0-0-50-17S), a premium K source with more to offer.

. O THE NEED FOR POTASSIUM


Turfgrass harvest removes up to 160 lbs. of K2


of soil1 . Without


proper potassium application and replenishment, durability and appearance of turfgrass can be greatly compromised.


TWO ESSENTIAL NUTRIENTS


Known as the 4th major nutrient, sulfur serves many essential functions in turf growth, such as chlorophyll formation and enzyme activation2

.


With Protassium+, turfgrass receives 17% of readily available sulfate sulfur, rather than elemental sulfur, which can take weeks or months to convert.
