Attracting, Retaining Talent

Attracting, Retaining Talent (Is Fun the Answer?)

[Quoted]

The Seattle Daily Journal of Commerce had an amusing, insightful article (http://www.djc.com/news/ae/11192765.html) about steps being taken by local architecture and engineering firms to attract and retain talent in a tight job market.

With the article noting that all firms in the area pay well, some firms, to stand out, are adopting unusual strategies and perks to keep their staffs happy and to lure top job prospects.

Among the offerings:
skateboard luges in lunchrooms,
movie nights, frequent parties and even visits from Santa Claus (in addition to paid-for trips to research design around the world).

I'd love to hear from community members about effective strategies their own firms are using to attract and retain top talent.

Woah... just imagine. Do they really get to play and work at the same time?

1. Well I guess so. When you finish your work!

2. Yes, its a positive approach but hmm...

3. I'm also looking into perspective or ways to venture/ solutions into such alternatives?
