“Companies often say that being a great employer is as important to them as creating shareholder value or delighting customers or beating competitors. But they don’t elevate it as a business priority, to be managed with the same kind of investment and discipline—and competitive passion—that they apply to managing R&D, manufacturing and sales.At IBM, we do.” -- Sam Palmisano Chairman and Chief Executive Officer IBM Corporation
