A recent survey shows that 48% of employees are dissatisfied with their present employer. Another statistic shows that 50% of all new hires decide to quit the first two days on the job. Greg Smith says, "The secret to employee retention is not only good pay but managers who have good people skills."

Greg owns and operates Chart Your Course International, located in Conyers, Georgia. He shows managers how to attract, keep and motivate their workforce. Greg has spoken to national organizations and internationally in Singapore, Puerto Rico, Germany, Canada, and Malaysia. He will be speaking at the PizzaExpo at Atlantic City, October 11-12 on employee retention and how to manage a family owned business. The PizzaExpo is one of the largest food industry conferences in the world.

Prior to moving to Conyers, Greg built his career on the front-line as an U.S. Army Officer. He worked for the U.S. Army Surgeon General as the Director of Quality and Strategic Planning. During his tenure he played a major role in the largest organizational transformation in U.S. history.

He is listed in Harvard University's, Profiles in Business and Management: An International Directory of Scholars and Their Research. The Human Resource Executive Magazine selected him as one of the Top-Ten "Rising Stars" in Human Resource Management. He was one of ten people chosen in the nation for this honor.

Greg’s advice has appeared in dozens of national and international journals including the Christian Science Monitor, The Alaska Business Journal, Do It Yourself Retailing, New Orleans Business News, Rental, Training & Development, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, The Tampa Journal, and other business newspapers including Exame, South America’s largest business magazine.

He is a prolific writer and author. Greg has written over 300 articles and three books. In addition he is working on a new book scheduled to come out next year called, Here Today Here To Stay: Transforming High Turnover to High Retention Businesses.
