| Human Capital June 24th, 2016 by Bill Boyajian |
Most leaders will agree that human capital is the most valuable asset that any company in any industry can have. The amazement comes when you see how poorly people are treated in so many workplaces. I’m not referring to the Fortune 500 companies that can afford free meals, day care, and health clubs. I’m concerned about the hundreds of thousands of small businesses, many of which treat employees as if they were expendable commodities and then wonder why they can’t attract and retain great people. Contrary to popular opinion, today’s employees aren’t all that different from the previous generation. They want to work in a culture that values individuals and the contributions they make. They want to work for an owner or leader who cares about them. They want to work for a winning team but be a star in their own right. Millennials, in particular, see their workplace as a key social network and one of their primary connections to society as a whole. So maybe it’s time for business owners and leaders to define who they are, why their business exists, and what they are looking for in human capital. People want to work for leaders who have it together and for businesses that are going somewhere. If people don’t know where you’re going, or how you’re going to get there, they’re unlikely to come aboard, and less likely to stay aboard once they figure you out. Human capital is the engine that drives business. If you have the best people, you’ll have the best company.

“I needed help orchestrating a succession plan for our business. I had heard that Bill Boyajian specialized in assisting owners to transition their business to the next generation. He knows how to bridge the generation gap and deliver what each needs to hear. I would recommend Bill to any business owner who needs advice on succession planning from a trusted outside professional.”

"Our family needed some guidance on business transition and succession planning. We asked Bill Boyajian to help us because we knew we could trust him to tell us what we needed to hear. Bill became a valuable resource for our company and our entire family. He has the ability to meet each of us where we’re at and it has served us very well."

“We needed a plan to transition our business to a non-family member and we asked Bill Boyajian to help us. His experience in the area has really paid off, but we didn’t expect the added value of putting us together with a financial planner who helped organize our retirement needs. We now have the fundamentals to transition our business successfully, and we have Bill to thank for it.”
