Episode Takeaway: How to boost employee engagement?
“When you find a place where trust is high in an organization, you will find that there is an atmosphere that is running. There is a feeling in the air, and it’s a feeling that I am safe, I am informed, I’m respected, I’m valued, and I’m understood. People need to feel safe, informed, respected, valued, and understood. And it’s interesting to just begin a dialogue with your workers, with your employees, with your management team to find out, do they feel in this culture that they are safe, informed, respected, valued and understood. Because if those things are weak, trust will be in poor repair.“

"When all this (pandemic) settles down, we're still going to be back to being able to find and retain great talent. The way you do that is by creating a company where people want to work. And once they're there, they want to do their best for themselves and for the company."

Episode Takeaway: 'You can't see the forest through the trees'-- what does that look like in an organization?
"When I go into a company, the first thing I do, or I want to do, is to do a survey of the workforce and a survey of the leadership team. And what comes out of that, I have always found that what the leadership team thinks the challenges are, are different than what the workforce (thinks). That old saying, "You can't see the forest through the trees" it's the same that happens in leadership in a company. Especially medium size, they don't have a people officer who's doing this kind of work."

Episode Takeaway: Why is it so important that your employees know your company history when they are hired in the first 24 hours?
“‘When the cement is wet; you can move it with a trowel when it gets hard; you need a jackhammer’– the thing is when you can move it with a trowel, why not embed the company history in that new employee’s open mind. They’re coming to work, they don’t know what to expect. This is your chance to tell them about your company’s story.’
– Michael Houlihan
Episode Takeaway: How to solve employee turnover?
“If people are more engaged, if they understand what the principles are of the founder, then they can relate to that and they can relate to everyone they’re working with, and be more of a team player. They can care more about the company that they’re working for, instead of it just being a job. So, it solves the problem of turnover, the number one hidden cost of any company.”– Bonnie Harvey

You’re going along, the music is going and all of a sudden, the music stops. And then you got to see where you’re at.
