I've spent a good deal of time of the past two days analyzing the Google patent.
I believe the patent expresses three things:

Change
Not for my busy but the consciousness of it.
Sometimes, I'll think the future of my life, the family of myself, the fortune and etc..
whilemean that, the job and the salary is the current important thing which I have to face with.
Think of the job-hopping and the experience what I had, I feeled a little headache.
Life is fair to everybody, me too.
Maybe I'll change my current state within the next few days.
Encourage myself and wish more lucky's time to me.

Good lucky to myself.
First for the pressure of my work. Though I try my best to do it, I think I didn't receive what I deserved.
Second, I was anxious the thing about renting-house so seriously that I got up earlier these days.
Maybe, In the end, things will mend.
Good lucky to myself.

Why Top Employees Quit
I work in a large company and this is a problem that we have with our IT and Sales groups in particular. I reached out a to a few peers with other companies (one is an IT exec and one is actually a Group President) and as an exercise, we took a bunch of historical data and started identifying the factors that led to the annual exodus. We focused only the top 20% of the employees from a performance standpoint. It's not that the remaining 80% is unimportant, however, from a productivity, growth, and brainpower perspective, the top 20% of any group is critical. Moreover, these are the employees that are very difficult to replace.
To do this, we reviewed notes from exit interviews, cross referenced annual reviews and ultimately came up with 178 voluntary terminations from people that would have been considered in the top 20%.
To try and keep focused on macro issues, we consolidated the responses and placed them into categories:
- Money
- Unchallenged
- Too Challenged
- Dead Company
- Watch your Levels (and the BS)
- Money: This one was obvious however we found some interesting nuggets of information:The Stats:
- Of the 178 files, 83 people listed money as a reason for leaving.
- 62 listed it as the only reason
- In those 62 cases, only 8 were at the top of their pay scale - so there was still room to earn more.
This may mean a few things:- We are not watching the market rate for these positions closely enough - our "pay potential" might be way too low
- Our pay scale doesn't increase at the same rate as the market rates
- Star Employees know their value. If you won't compensate them for it, they will look elsewhere in a heartbeat
- We are not doing a good enough job at drawing the line towards advancement. If the employee actually sees advancement as a sure possibility as opposed to a pipe dream, it may slow their decision to jump to another company.
Just because a engineer was hired 3 years ago at $70K and currently makes $77K does not mean that is the going rate simply because you built the comp plan that way. If your HR group is not benchmarking what these positions are really making in the world, you better. - Of the 178 files, 83 people listed money as a reason for leaving.
- Unchallenged: At what point does workplace monotony kill someone's drive? The Stats: 42 records (23%) showed this was their #1 reason for leaving.
One of the forms was completed by an employee that had the exact same job function for 3 years. He is a great example of this point. This employee was in the 20% tier because he had mastered his position and was viewed by many as someone literally doing the work of 2 people. His performance reviews were flawless. BUT - and here is the killer, he didn't feel that way. He thrived on pressure and having a huge workload was natural to him. Although his manager didn't see it, this guy was bored out of his skull and wanted more. Year after year he exceeded every expectation on his review and he was compensated for it but that was it. In this case, it wasn't a matter of compensation, it was strictly responsibility.
One might blame this particular employee for not making his own opportunities and being more aggressive. However, one may also blame the manager for not fully understanding his top employee's goals, motivations, or attitude. It is incredibly important to have a clear understanding on what your star employees think. The best way to understand this is by simply talking to them. I am not saying you have to be best friends but as a manager, you have to know how the employee feels. In fact, it's kind of easy to test for. If there is an employee killing all his goals, try giving him more responsibility. It could be as small as becoming a mentor for a new hire, or asking him to interview someone for you. The goal is to keep a star challenged without crossing the line. - Too Challenged: Toss 'em in and see if they swim.
The Stats: 38 records (21%) showed this was their #1 reason for leaving.
Remember we are only talking about the 20% tier so the people that listed this reason, are not the lazy people of the bunch. They are the ones fed up with bureaucracy, hiring freezes, lack of cooperation, undefined goals, and poor technology. You cannot ask someone to complete 20 tasks and then give them inferior tools and personnel. A lot of employees will struggle through these problems because of their dedication to the company, however, at some point, the fight is no longer sustainable. The employee will either leave, OR , become so unmotivated that they lose their star status and become a normal employee and thus under perform.
You can not always depend on an employee to come to you with concerns. I don't care how often you proclaim you have an open door policy - it simply is not going to happen on a regular basis. To kill two birds with one stone, you could ask key employees for their views on the department, projects, etc. You can also ask for their solutions to the problems they present. Sure, their solutions may not always be implemented but at least they are involved and you know how they feel. When people view themselves as part of a solution, they are less likely to become disgruntled thus delaying the boiling point that forces them to leave. - Dead Company: AKA Death by Boredom
The Stats: 38 records (21%) showed this was their #1 reason for leaving
If the leadership team of your company is constantly drab regardless of the company's growth or the goals achieved, you are in trouble. All employees want money and to be challenged but they don't want to have to self-motivate 100% of the time. For example, I worked for a small company that hadn't created a new product in 10 years. Nothing ever changed and to make matters worse, the executives were all stiffs. I don't believe I ever saw an executive smile and that attitude trickled down the food chain. $30K a year with a company full of stiffs is worse to me than $28,500 with a fun energetic company. You can help take this burden off their plates buy injecting a little upbeat atmosphere. I am not talking about whirley ball, acting like a clown or naming Friday as "Beer in the office day", but your attitude speaks volumes. I will say that I was surprised that this percentage was just as high as those that felt "Too Challenged" from above. - Watch your Levels and the BS
The Stats: 51 people added something random to their primary reason of leaving.
Just because you are an Executive and depend on mid-level managers to do the day-to-day managing, does not mean that you should be ignorant to what is going on. We added this category after seeing the huge number of people having issues that appeared small, but were large enough for them to leave the company. So think of this as the micro managing managers, peer conflict sessions gone awry, crying employees in the bathrooms, process trolls, etc. Let me give you an example:
We saw one case where a department had 2 people leave because they disagreed with the same policy. So on a team of 9, the 2 strongest people left. Doesn't that indicate to management that the policy may be flawed? If I had been the VP or executive, I would have certainly been asking the group manager for a huge explanation. As it stood, the employees left and the policy stayed.
The key here is that your best employees are the best for a reason. When policies are changed, there is no one better than your star employee to consult with. This category actually reminds me of a post that Frank did a few weeks back listing 50 Ways a manager can get employees to quit. Basically, we saw half of these reasons on these forms and they are all things to at least be aware of because managers and team leaders do them all the time.

Key Performance Indicators (KPI)_It's a good performance on KPI_from F. John Reh.
Key Performance Indicators Must be Key To Organizational Success
Many things are measurable. That does not make them key to the organization's success. In selecting Key Performance Indicators, it is critical to limit them to those factors that are essential to the organization reaching its goals. It is also important to keep the number of Key Performance Indicators small just to keep everyone's attention focused on achieving the same KPIs.That is not to say, for instance, that a company will have only three or four total KPIs in the company. Rather there will be three or four Key Performance Indicators for the company and all the units within it will have three, four, or five KPIs that support the overall company goals and can be "rolled up" into them.
If a company Key Performance Indicator is "Increased Customer Satisfaction", that KPI will be focused differently in different departments. The Manufacturing Department may have a KPI of "Number of Units Rejected by Quality Inspection", while the Sales Department has a KPI of "Minutes A Customer Is On Hold Before A Sales Rep Answers". Success by the Sales and Manufacturing Departments in meeting their respective departmental Key Performance Indicators will help the company meet its overall KPI.
Good Key Performance Indicators vs. Bad
Bad:- Title of KPI: Increase Sales
- Defined: Change in Sales volume from month to month
- Measured: Total of Sales By Region for all region
- Target: Increase each month
Good:
- Title of KPI: Employee Turnover
- Defined: The total of the number of employees who resign for whatever reason, plus the number of employees terminated for performance reasons, and that total divided by the number of employees at the beginning of the year. Employees lost due to Reductions in Force (RIF) will not be included in this calculation.
- Measured: The HRIS contains records of each employee. The separation section lists reason and date of separation for each employee. Monthly, or when requested by the SVP, the HRIS group will query the database and provide Department Heads with Turnover Reports. HRIS will post graphs of each report on the Intranet.
- Target: Reduce Employee Turnover by 5% per year.
What Do I Do With Key Performance Indicators?
Once you have good Key Performance Indicators defined, ones that reflect your organization's goals, one that you can measure, what do you do with them? You use Key Performance Indicators as a performance management tool, but also as a carrot. KPIs give everyone in the organization a clear picture of what is important, of what they need to make happen. You use that to manage performance. You make sure that everything the people in your organization do is focused on meeting or exceeding those Key Performance Indicators. You also use the KPIs as a carrot. Post the KPIs everywhere: in the lunch room, on the walls of every conference room, on the company intranet, even on the company web site for some of them. Show what the target for each KPI is and show the progress toward that target for each of them. People will be motivated to reach those KPI targets.what i do and the new theory

The first blog which writen absolutely in English
From some days I have looked through the foreigner's blog, which writen in Chinese. Sometimes it seems so many mistakes in grammar and spelling obviously, but it's a try.
So I think why not give myself a try and a chance to open a new blog writen in English, even if there're some grammar and spelling mistakes. I will check time to time and develop myself.
Just here, I'll give u a spectacular performance!
Come on, Sing.
