#83: Creating a Culture of Accountability in Your Business
If money talks, raises scream! Raises cannot be based on “vibes” and gut feelings, or else you'll watch cleaner performance plateau. However, when you give your team full control of their own raises and make clarity and accountability the standard, you'll see quality skyrocket.
In this solo episode, Stephanie shares how Serene Clean completely transformed their culture by putting the responsibility for raises in the hands of their cleaners. She also opens up about how “clarity is kindness” in leadership, including rewriting policies, setting quality standards, automating Slack responses, and overall empowering her team to find their own answers.
📌 What You’ll Learn:
— How to tie raises directly to performance (and why it works)
— The 3 key metrics Serene Clean uses for raises: quality, attendance, and policy compliance
— Why vague expectations kill accountability (and how to fix it)
— How to coach struggling cleaners without enabling them
— What “clarity as kindness” really looks like in practice
— How to prevent complacency in hourly or percentage pay systems
— How automation (like Slack bots) can teach better communication habits
— Creating a “culture of excellence” that people want to live up to
