Summary

In this episode of the Dream Dividend, Kevin Patrick discusses the importance of rethinking financial perspectives on employees and how treating them as assets rather than expenses can lead to significant business benefits. He shares a compelling case study of a distribution company that implemented the Dream Manager program, which focuses on helping employees achieve their personal dreams. This approach not only reduced turnover costs but also transformed the company's compensation strategies and overall financial planning. The episode emphasizes the need for small to mid-sized businesses to invest in their people to maximize returns and create a more engaged workforce.
