Alchemy was the medieval forerunner of chemistry and the goal of its practitioners was to convert base metals, like lead for example, into gold. OBVIOUSLY nobody ever succeeded.
But, imagine what a skill and knowledge set like THAT would have been worth if it was possible. Successful alchemists would have been the richest of the rich right?
Well… in the workforce, when you’re talking about the transformation of PEOPLE, you CAN take someone with a skillset of relatively small value and enhance it dramatically. THAT is workforce alchemy. We call the people who do it successfully, Workforce Alchemists.
Want to know how to take a rookie salesperson, producing only $100,000 a year in sales revenue and turn them into one who produces $5 million a year? Want to transform customer service reps who mishandle situations costing your company your best clients and perhaps millions of dollars into skilled reps who don’t? Want to transform entire departments, like warehouses full of workers notorious for problems like absenteeism, tardiness, employee theft and workers comp issues into ones who don’t have any of those problems? Want to transform a culture characterized by conflict and drama, violence and poor productivity into one that isn’t?
Workforce alchemy can be applied in EVERY position and every department. Workforce alchemists who know HOW to do this are incredibly valuable to the companies who employ them. They are much more valuable than “regular” or “average” employees who don’t.
