Maximizing Organizational Success

Hello. My name is Eric Prolmutter. I'm chairman of the board of Allied Beverage Group. New Jersey's largest distributor of liquor and wine. I'm preparing this video as a testimonial to the very valuable consulting service that's been rendered to my company over the last few years by Jack Gottlieb and his company Total Solutions Group. Ally beverage employees approximately eight hundred and fifty people and among our essential corporate goals is to create and maintain a high performance workforce. Several years ago, we conducted a comprehensive employee engagement survey. And the results of that survey surfaced five critical areas of needed improvement for our company. First, the need for greater recognition of good work performance. Second, a compensation system that more clearly rewards good performance. Third, a better system of performance management relating to goal planning regular performance feedback, and annual performance evaluations. Fourth, the need for formalized training and learning opportunity to foster individual career development. Among our employees. And fifth, to develop a more effective organization wide system of communications. All five of these areas emerged as initiatives that lodged immediately with my human resource department. And Having come down all at once, my HR department was overwhelmed with concerns over how they were to proceed, order priorities, not get spread too thin, handle their normal daily responsibilities and still accomplish in efficient order these different initiatives At that moment, it brought us to Jack Gottlieb, a fellow who we had met over several years at the annual Garden State Sherm Conference where he was a regular speaker whom we had heard several times over and we hired Jack for the purpose of helping us with project management effective goal planning prioritizing of goals and to develop a methodology to make sure that we stayed on track and accomplished as much as possible as soon as possible. And Jack was very effective in in his help in that regard. We had monthly meetings. He he would follow-up in between with audio clip directions and checking on our progress in various areas and Bottom line is that we accomplished I I believe a great deal more with Jack's assistance than we ever have could have could have accomplished on our own. I might add that Jack's methodology and his intent was to teach us how to approach project management in the manner in which he does it in a way that we could replicate this in the future for future initiatives that may we that may arise. Also, I might add that along the way, we engage Jack to do some personal training of our fifty four reviewing managers in the realm of goal planning and prioritizing goals and conducting effective feedback and annual performance evaluations. Bottom line is very simply if your company has the same desires and needs As Allied Beverage Group did and and still does, you could benefit greatly from the advice and counsel of Jack Gottlieb, and his company, Total Solutions Group. Thank you.
