Ask a senior manager in any industry to name his or her most valued asset and the answer will be “good people”. Not only are they the most productive, but replacing them is both difficult and costly. As Managing Director of the Real Asset Management Group, I know how important it is to be proactive in ensuring that the best people want to stay with us. To help me and my fellow managers achieve this aim, we use the set of guidelines below for running the business – our ‘Share Scheme’. It seems to have been very successful, as over 30% of our colleagues have worked with us for more than 10 years.

Have open plan offices where managers work with their teams.
