Awards don’t tell the whole story
I just read in today’s paper about a local business winning an award for their web site and online service. The irony about this award is that this company can’t hire local talent because of their reputation of being hard to work with. Employees come and go frequently.
So, it makes me wonder, and seriously doubt, the credibility of the award. Just how much research went into deciding who gets the awards? Look at the staff turnover for the real truth about any company. A high turn over rate is an indicator of a toxic work place and undeserving of any awards of any kind.
A lot can be hidden or covered up with a fancy web site. How many sham web sites exist that look professional and legitamate?
Dig deeper to find the real truth before handing out awards.
