Since 2006, wages in super-caffeinated Seattle have increased 9 percent, placing the Emerald City second in the nation for cities with the highest wage increases. For Seattle companies, this upturn signals a return to pre-recession economic conditions – and more competition for top talent.
Is your organization prepared to:
• Keep top talent?
• Recruit high performers?
• Adjust your pay strategy according to the Puget Sound market?

“It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.”
“Citizenship in a Republic,”
Teddy Roosevelt “Man in the Arena”
Speech at the Sorbonne, Paris, April 23, 1910
