1. What problem do you solve?
   • Sam is tackling the topic of employee engagement and retention

Show Notes:

• Employers are assuming two things when they hire an employee.
  • They are thinking they are looking for a job that fits their skills
  • The second thing they are thinking is that potential employees want the compensation and time off.
• Sam says potential employees are looking for something more.
• It no longer works to just increase pay to attract more employees.
• You may have to consider outsourcing some of your jobs.
• You may find that you have some of your people in the wrong position in your company and they have skills they could use in different areas.
• Things we can do to keep our best employees.
  • Have your employees name why they are working.
  • Let your employees know that job satisfaction is under their control.
  • Find your employees' career factors and address these with your employees. Be creative.

Sam Feeney's Recharge Round

2. If you had one do-over, what would it be? He got sidetracked from his plan. He wishes he would have had a mentor or a board of advisors to help keep him on track.
