2024: Building a Positive Work Environment. Driving Excellent Results. The VIP Way.

"Building a Positive Work Environment. Driving Excellent Results. The VIP Way." 

Employee retention is key to organizational growth and succession planning.  Recruiting and training new employees, while necessary, can be expensive and time consuming.  Furthermore, employee turnover can negatively impact productivity and morale. If you could reduce your employee turnover rate, what would the impact be to your company?

  •  Champion Operational Excellence 
  •  Make Sound Decisions 
  •  Hold People Accountable 
  •  Communicate with Excellence 
  •  Generational Differences 
  •  Fostering a Positive Work Environment 
  •  Championing Health, Wellness & Safety 
  •  Avoiding Burnout 
  •  Real Life Scenarios 
  •  Your Legacy as a VIP Leader 

About Jon Harrison: 
Jon’s mission is to transform workplace cultures into positive, thriving entities. Early in his career at Caterpillar Inc., a Fortune 100 company, Jon was recognized for his leadership approach and people skills, and the ability to drive bottom line results. Over the last half of his career, Jon was tasked with leading and transforming under-performing entities around the globe into thriving businesses. Some of his accomplishments include: leading the revival of an underperforming facility in Melbourne, Australia and overseeing the restructuring of a joint venture and company culture for thousands of employees in Japan. In his last assignment, Jon led the startup of a $180 million state-of-the art manufacturing facility in Little Rock, AR. It was during his time at Caterpillar that Jon saw first-hand how disengaged employees not only affect the bottom line of a business, they also experience having a lack of purpose, physical and emotional health issues, and negative relationships with family and friends. After seeing first-hand the impact that a high expectations/values-based work environment had on people’s lives and business results, Jon felt called to help other organizations and people achieve the same results. In 2011, Jon did just that by taking a leap of faith, leaving his executive life behind, and starting his own firm. Jon’s firm addresses the issue of “disengaged employees” head-on and shares his simple and proven method to organizations via training, advising and one-on-one coaching. Jon holds a BS in Business Economics from the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University and is a graduate of the Advanced Management Program at Duke University.
