It’s not wishful thinking to envision your barely trained seasonal employees inspiring customers to spend more this holiday season – and to come back after the glitter settles. That is, if you’re prepared to hire well to make up for the lack of opportunity to train well.

Best Companies for Hourly Workers

Almost 75 million Americans are getting paid by the hour, many of them moms working to support their families. Is your workplace supportive of them? If your company has 500 or more employees, and at least 50 percent are hourly, you can find out if you have what Working Mother magazine deems an outstanding hourly environment. Take the “Best Companies for Hourly Workers” survey by Oct. 14 to see if your company is worthy of being acknowledged in a feature article publishing in April/May 2012 and celebrated at a gala event. Even if you don’t make the list, you’ll receive confidential feedback on how you compare with other respondents.
