HEY ROCKSTARS!

👏 REAL TALK. 👏

Instead of focusing on why your employees leave, ask, "What can I do to keep them at my company?"

Therefore, in this week’s episode, we discuss how to work around some challenges you might encounter when retaining passionate team members and converting them into A-players!

Remember that the salary is only one aspect of what employees are looking for. Rather than just meeting your team member’s needs, business owners and managers should consider their values and personal goals in the long run. 🤓🤓🤓

We should be cognizant of the fact that everyone defines happiness differently. Certain company perks may make employees happy. There are also instances when some members of the team appreciate the company's commitment to challenging them.

What about planning a morning huddle or one on ones to get to know them more? ✌️✌️✌️

Having a hard time gauging each of them as individuals? - Easy!

Onboard with us also is Stephanie Cansfield, PFC's Customer Care Manager. She will cover topics such as building relationships between leaders and employees and many more.

So you've got to tune in now! ☑️☑️☑️

Chapters:

5:29 The importance of getting to know your team members' personal goals

13:35 More eyes and brains are better than one

18:49 Team members not enjoying what they do? They're not going to stay

23:19 Why it's super important to let go of things that are unnecessary
