Our Luncheon Programwas held at Camp Tanadoona last week. There were ghosts of the memories of summer camping past roaming through the lunchroom during the meal. Marnie gave a short history of the 103 acre facility, which was purchased by Minneapolis Rotary 87 years ago and donated to the Campfire organization. Currently, they provide camp experiences to about a hundred kids each week during the summer.
After lunch, our speaker, Kris Boesch, of Choose People, LLC, gave her presentation. Choose People LLC is an organization founded by Kris, and it's purpose is to encourage employers to recognize the value of a company's employees. According to Kris, there are three parts to any commercial transaction: the customer, the company's service or product, and the employees who deliver the service. Happy, satisfied employees deliver a better image to the client, and give the employer higher value for the wages paid. Generally, a happy employee will stay with an employer longer, work harder, and have less sick time. Kris provided a handout that shows that converting an unhappy employee to a happy one can save the employer just under $60,000.
