DC Comics (founded in 1934 as National Allied Publications[1]) is one of the largest and most successful companies operating in the market for American comic books and related media. It is the publishing division of DC Entertainment Inc.,[2] a subsidiary company of Warner Bros. Entertainment, which itself is owned by Time Warner. DC Comics produces material featuring a large number of well-known characters, including Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Green Lantern, the Flash, Martian Manhunter, Green Arrow, Hawkman, and such superhero teams as the Justice League and the Teen Titans, and such antagonists as Lex Luthor, the Joker, Two Face, the Penguin, General Zod, the Riddler, Bizarro, Sinestro, Catwoman, and Darkseid[3].
The initials "DC" came from the company's popular series Detective Comics, which subsequently became part of the company's official name.[4] DC Comics has its official headquarters at 1700 Broadway, Midtown Manhattan, New York, New York.[5] Random House distributes DC Comics' books to the bookstore market, while Diamond Comic Distributors supplies the comics shop specialty market.[5]
DC Comics and its major, longtime competitor Marvel Comics together shared over 80% of the American comic-book market as of 2008.
In fact, those who have analyzed the effects of turnover say that as much as 80 percent of its cost is hidden. It is estimated that the average cost to refill an upper management and executives post is 1.5 times the annual salary of the job. Turnover is a fact of corporate life — just ask any HR professional. While turnover can’t be stopped, it can be reduced by identifying and addressing its many possible causes. Unfortunately, employers often don’t even know that their employees are dissatisfied until they receive their resignation notices.
In many cases, employees leave because the job is not living up to their work expectations. Work expectations are those things people consider likely to happen in their job situation, either now or in the future. We create these expectations from a combination of our past work experience, age, gender, personal goals, race and a variety of other factors. Our expectations about work have a powerful impact on our behaviors and play a key role in driving our attitudes.
Typically, certain expectations — such as job duties, salary, and work hours — are clearly understood by all parties in an employment situation. However other expectations are closely linked to an individual’s concept of work and often times go unacknowledged. Examples of these include: personal recognition, self expression and job stability.
In assisting clients in uncovering employees’ work expectations, we were introduced to a commendable tool. Managing Work Expectations – Transforming Attitudes is a unique and highly interactive self assessment created by Inscape Publishing. It is designed to help people uncover and explore their work expectations in a variety of employment situations including:
* working on a team
* transitioning to a new position
* experiencing organizational restructuring
* creating meaningful performance reviews
* making the most of daily routine
Understand that the key concept is personal accountability — even adjusting one’s unrealistic work expectations when necessary — not getting the organization to meet everyone’s expectations. I am so impressed with this tool, that I am beginning to add it to our Big Phat Goals business program. It assists us in supporting clients in managing their employees’ expectations before they become job hindering issues.
