In her first quarter earnings call last night, Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer revealed her progress in acquiring and retaining talent —the first phase in what she called a “series of sprints” to improve the company’s performance.
Over the last quarter, Mayer said she implemented more than 567 employee–focused initiatives, notably a new program for employees to test and try to improve the latest products.
“As a result of these initiatives, the data is undeniable,” Mayer said. “Today, more people are trying to work at Yahoo! and more employees are staying.”
