These places have massive competitive disadvantages. They lose productivity and profitability. They have poor customer service, lots of absenteeism, and are followers, playing catch-up to the companies that truly innovate.

These businesses are where the get-up-and-go! got up and left a long time ago. The popular press is calling this period The Great Resignation. Droves of workers are leaving their employers looking for something better. What is better? Rarely is it articulated this succinctly, but put simply, people want to be happier at work.

Happiness means creativity, productivity, effectiveness, and profitability. Happiness means business!
