Summary
Effective performance appraisals add value to your organization. They motivate your top employees to do even better. And they tell under-performers exactly what is expected and how to improve. Unfortunately, performance appraisals are often regarded as mere formalities. Reviews are sometimes done late-or skipped. Clear guidance falls by the wayside, and halfhearted work goes unchallenged. In this video,you'll follow two story lines. One involves a small business, taking steps to formalize a review process for the first time. The other presents a large corporation attempting to energize an existing system. Watch as two very different managers prepare for challenging review meetings-and see them apply skills that defuse tension and achieve the desired results.

Summary
Hamdi Ulukaya is a Turkish American entrepreneur and businessman. He is the founder and CEO of Chobani, the number one-selling Greek yogurt brand in the U.S. Originating from a Kurdish dairy-farming family in a small village in Turkey, Ulukaya came to the U.S. in 1994 to study English and took a few business courses as well. He started a modest feta-cheese factory in 2002 on the advice of his father, but his real success came from taking a major risk: purchasing a large defunct yogurt factory in upstate New York in 2005. With no prior experience in the yogurt business, he created a yogurt empire, Chobani, that went from zero to over $1 billion in annual sales in less than five years, becoming the leading yogurt brand in the U.S. by 2011. Ernst & Young named Ulukaya the World Entrepreneur of the Year in 2013.

Summary
Getting a job is one of life's big challenges. But how does it look from the employers' point of view? This documentary looks at how a small business, a hospital, and a supermarket recruit their staff. SMALL BUSINESS: Small business SNS supplies computer networks to schools and has to work out their job specification for a new position from scratch. They advertise the job by means of word of mouth and look at how well presented the applicants' letters and CVs are. HOSPITAL: East Kent and Canterbury hospital is looking to fill a vacancy for an office job with important responsibilities - ensuring cancer patients get their treatment on time. Unlike the small business, the hospital advertises the job both in the local newspaper and internally - and the wording of the ad is a crucial consideration. SUPERMARKET: Giant supermarket Asda asks its candidates to fill in an application form - except it's more like a questionnaire designed to weed out people with the wrong personality. Asda also asks candidates to come to a group assessment which involves a form of psychometric testing. THE INTERVIEW: All three organisations make their final decisions at the interview stage. The small business interviewers mark their candidates under particular headings, such as enthusiasm and leadership. The hospital puts a lot of store by supporting statements. In the supermarket, body language and appearance turn out to be important factors.

Summary
It's often said that Customer Service isn't a department, it's an attitude. The behaviour of front-line staff defines the reputation of any organisation - big or small - which makes it all the more important to get it right. In this episode, customer service teams will become well equipped to give the customer what they want. Chapter 1: Knowing Your Stuff. Knowing your stuff gets the customer onside. You should have a detailed knowledge of what you've got - your product range and its features. You should also know your policies, as well as having a wider knowledge of the business and the market landscape. Chapter 2: Finding out What They Want. Customers don't always know what they want. Whatever service you provide, encourage your customers to open up. Listen to their needs, desires and concerns. Chapter 3: Getting into Their Head. The customer may need something more than what they're asking for. Try to get to the truth of the matter by asking questions. Chapter 4: Showing Them the Benefits. Features like 'it's got auto-tension' are factual statements but they won't entice customers to buy. A benefit (like 'it's incredibly comfortable') answers the question 'What's in it for me?' People buy benefits - so explain them to them.
