As seminar presentations tend to be free-flowing and unstructured, the video comes
with a supplemental text. While “Using the Strategic Tools in Six Key Areas” roughly runs parallel to and reflects the seminar content, it is not a transcript of the events as many new and different concepts are introduced. The text is conveniently divided up into the six challenging problem areas where TMT works with clients and has found they need the most help. They are:

  1. Manpower Sourcing / Recruiting – Executive Search
  2. Compensation and Benefits – Design and Change
  3. Rules of Employment – Set-ups and Adjustments
  4. Problem Employee Solutions / Terminations
  5. Staff Reduction and Cost Saving Programs
  6. Union and Staff Relations / Attitudes
