Breakfast Briefing: “It’s All About the People,” Jim Sinegal, CEO, Costco

Jim Sinegal, Costco’s Founder, CEO and Pittsburgh native, loves his job. He enjoys going to work every day knowing that his company provides its employees higher than average wages and better than average benefits. As Sinegal says, “It’s all about the people.” His philosophy works. Costco has the lowest turnover rate in retailing, in part due to the company’s policy on promoting almost entirely from within. In town for the grand opening of the new Costco at the Waterfront, Sinegal joined us for a Breakfast Briefing where he explained how to lead your business to success by focusing on your most import asset: your people. Each attendee received a free one-day pass to shop at Costco. Event sponsored by GlaxoSmithKline. Coffee sponsored by Clearview Federal Credit Union.
