Mary Kay Thursday, March 3, 2011 at 4:07PM On Tuesday, I was lucky enough to be able to attend an award ceremony where HotSchedules was honored as one of Central Texas’ Healthiest Employers by Seton and the Austin Business Journal. The event and luncheon were hosted by Austin Mayor Lee Leffingwell, and the award was presented by Paul Carrozza, CEO/Owner of RunTex and Chair of the Mayor’s Fitness Council.

Ray Brons recently posted on the HotSchedules blog, and I paraphrase, that employee retention is again moving to the forefront of the collective business mind. Begin by hiring the right individuals. Then retain them by showing you value them. Offer them ways to improve themselves, and their production will flourish. Provide reasonable flexibility around their daily lives and they respect your respect of them. Do all of this and then offer them a chance to achieve, to compete and to have fun, and you foster an ideal symbiotic employer/employee relationship.
Enter HotFit: a competition that HotSchedules created for its employees to boost self esteem and team confidence, build relationships between employees, and enlighten us to the fact that we work for a company that rocks(as if we didn’t already know). The first HotFit was so successful that we recently kicked off HotFit 2.0. Ultimately, this is our company giving to us and inspiring us to give back to aid in our mutual accomplishments. We both benefit, therefore we both succeed.
