Companies should be wary of worker flight risk By Hire Dynamics CATEGORY: Blog, News POSTED: May 26, 2011 In the midst of “the great recession,” companies are less fearful that their employees will flee for a better job offer.

Hire Dynamics has built its corporate culture around employee satisfaction – keeping its good workers and making them better. “It’s a central strategy for us, said Dan Campbell, CEO. “We view the retention of employees as one of the most important things we do as an organization.
