7. A recent survey by the American Management Association states the average cost to replace an employee is 30% of their salary. A recent survey conducted by RHI Consulting revealed that the annual turnover rate for a typical IT Department in a larger US company was more than 25% (based on responses from 1400 CIOs from a random sample of U.S. companies with more than 100 employees) The 2002 Microsoft Certified Professional Salary Survey gives an average salary for an IT Professional of approx. $60k The “Great Place to Work” Institute surveys companies worldwide in an effort to understand successful strategies for employee motivation and retention. In the UK, it’s results are published in ‘The Times’ and, in the US, in ‘Fortune’ magazine. Year on year, the companies that feature highest on the list are financial and high-tech companies. Why? Arguably, these are the companies who best understand how technology can be used to enhance their business and turn this learning in on their people! This frees HR professionals & line managers to manage people, not tasks! Does employee retention matter? This gives, for a typical ‘large’ IT department: 1000 employees x $60,000 x 30% x 25% = $4.5 million pa !

14. Appropriate Interactions Quality Intelligence Powerful Analytics Effective Relationships Improved Performance Enhanced Strategy The all-encompassing Philosophy

15. Intelligence & Analytics • Does your eHR solution give you more than just employee details? Do you have a single view of their skills, training, performance and management potential? • Can you analyse who your most important employees are and do you use target campaigns and interaction to build loyalty? • When a key event changes the life of one of your employees, such as moving home or having a baby, can you measure the impact this may have on your relationship with them? • Do you really know what the cost is to your business of employee acquisition and employee turnover? Interaction & Relationships • Is your strategy simply to force every employee to deal with you via the intranet? For everything? • What about, for example, your customer-facing, high-value (mobile?) sales force, who need access to systems on the move? Have you even considered a multi-channel approach? • Does you eHR Business Case require you to cut back your HR support function to a bare minimum, or are you instead re-skilling and repositioning them for higher value work, such as retention of key employees? Food for thought

16. Do you treat your employees as individuals, or are they just a number to you? Do you value them in the same way as your customers? Is Employee Motivation and Retention one of your Company’s top 3 priorities and if not, why not? Strategy & Performance

17. Which technologies could be deployed across all three spheres (customers, suppliers and employees)? Technology Considerations • Data warehousing • Analytical technology • Case Management • IVR Technology • Portal Technology • Web Hosting (Intranet / Internet / Extranet) • Campaign Management Technologies

18. (1) Customers are all important, but suppliers and employees matter too! (2) Many CRM concepts (with which your CEO is familiar) apply equally well to the other key stakeholders in your enterprise! (3) Challenge your e-Business approach to date. Is it too transactional in it’s focus? Have you considered relationship management issues at an enterprise level? (4) Have you looked at where you could re-use technologies and deploy them in a wider role? Conclusions
