Focus On Competitive Advantage, the premier event for Petroleum Marketers

The Shocking Cost of Under-Performing Employees!

FACT: Americans waste more than 2 hours a day at work, costing companies $759 billion a year, according to a Salary.com and America Online survey. Personal internet use ranked as top time-wasting activity!

What % of your people’s time do you think is spent doing something other than the “right” thing?

Would 10% be a safe estimate? Then that means each $10/hr employee is wasting $2,000 of your money per year. How many employees do you have in the $10/hr range? 15?

That’s $30,000 per year.

Then each $20/hr person is wasting $4,000 of your money per year. How many people do you have in the $20/hr range? 15?

That’s another $60,000 per year of lost profit.

Based on your number of employees, they’re taking $$$$$ out of your pocket every year through wasted time or inefficiency on the job.

Cost of employee inefficiency both in wasted time + overtime caused when productive employees take up the slack?

Are managers wasting “time” following behind and actually doing the work of non-productive employees?
Is YOUR time spent doing day to day activities employees should actually be doing? Does this affect you personally?
Do low performing employees impact your high performers?
Do the high performers have to actually work harder and then feel like they’re being punished for being diligent at their job?
Does this create turnover with your good people?

How committed are you to solving this?

Would it be worth $2,500 and 2 days of your time to cut that cost in half? We all agree there’s no magic wand but we’re talking about 2 days in a group that’s totally focused on harnessing the full power of your people. That’s exactly what Focus on Competitive Advantage is designed to do!

Focus on Competitive Advantage is for Owners, CEOs, CFOs and those executive team members focused on driving excellence and profit into their organization - and who recognize the importance of out-learning and out-thinking the competition. This is an extraordinary opportunity to join industry peers (fuel, lubes, c-stores, heating oil, propane, cardlocks) for two intense days of interactive learning. This year, FOCA hosts the top thought leaders, best-selling authors, and practitioners in team productivity, precision leadership, psychology and goal attainment. After all, it's people who dictate your bottom line results!
