Kate how to guide you are right we're talking about -- you know everyone's looking for a job these days right so many million denying that people are unemployed eight point 2% passed on.

Yet many markets.

-- -- Well my workers yeah that's true yes I reporting this week on a recent survey from the -- achievers intelligence and what they found is that there's a major disconnect between.

Hiring managers and people who are actually looking for jobs that they're really zoning in on what.

Employees want from the places that they work act so with unemployment like you said twelve point seven million people unemployed you would think he'd be easy for -- small business to.

Find qualified workers right -- what these workers actually want its appeal recognized and appreciated.

And 46%.

The people surveyed -- 18100 people surveyed about their own experiences in the -- they said that they.

They look to some of the qualities of the work with that they're going to be upgrading its nascent they're gonna -- recognized and -- regularly and 64% as a that they actually left the job where they did feel that they were recognize.

But here's the disconnect -- bank so.

57%.

Our small business CEOs will call them right they say that they feel that they recognize and value their employees and that they do this regular.

This compares of only 9% in ways that felt they actually went recognized and appreciated in the workplace and I think huge -- So what are some tips sent small businesses what what can need you to meet their workers -- we appreciate every all of your hard word yeah they -- that like I said they want to you have regular feedback every yet and we'll.

Of people expect that it doesn't while they -- on the spot or at least I think if -- manager.

You need to kind of take a step back and think what you would want.

If you weren't there is -- And trying do you that media on a weekly basis or twice monthly -- don't micromanage.

Or -- -- hill you know in mainstream way because the survey from achievers they found that it's more costly.

To lose value worker today than it was in the past and that it's also hard to replace them 49% of people.

I'm in small business -- that they just can't find skilled workers actually bring.

Yes you know I actually FaceBook about your story -- yeah kind of comments from from people on face them and they said that.

Well first.

They didn't happen nice things to say about the nature of some workers but they also had many small businesses might -- Under paying workers compensation is -- -- just not gonna you have all that experience exactly -- -- A job with a certain -- -- -- -- and actually it was very up on our thanks David said that money is more important to people than ever no big shock there by way of course that they unrelated people do you wanna be compensated by these workers 70% of them said that they're not recognize them all at their only recognize.

And you know it's a once a year they're getting media Christmas bonus where.

-- a little bump in pay that that it's just not enough for them.

Right and one more interesting -- in this survey found to 46 billion dollars spent annually on employee engagement and rewards programs and that CEOs don't woods went into exactly it and reward so rewards program money now would be something like I said to -- -- we'll have incentives for people to you.

Perform on the job of hearing sales you'll get a fifty dollar Visa gift card direct sales numbers out -- -- -- -- just wanna apparently.

Yeah little -- on the job that happened more than adds up to 46 billion -- lap.

Says a lot of money right yeah I would make -- create job doesn't make any and a lot of people.

At all -- this CEO really nice CEO said that they did not know where that money went to you so they're not even realizing what they're spending this money on to these these programs aren't.

-- it some more affected your employee vita program has got 31% last turnover.

In the -- to sell.

-- I think about putting one of these stand your workers isn't.

Let them know they're doing good and not doing good how they can do good and you may not get -- money on -- here and there I -- -- quality -- you know saying you're doing their job recognizing work that they put it.

You know.

-- training mission doesn't necessarily have to translate into it much it it just tested he that you are aware of work they're doing that you could heat our children.

The balance we will only be for who we think we want the satisfaction.

And months and we appreciate you -- -- -- you.
