3 things that you’ve learned about hiring and retaining great talent?
✅ Good people are everything. When it comes to operating a successful business. When you find the good ones who are self motivated and proactive, do what it takes to keep them. Create new positions, be flexible with hours, find a way to maximize their job satisfaction.
✅ Share the success. To help keep good employees, we share in the company profits. This helps employees feel invested in the company and accountable for its success.
✅ Create a positive work environment. In some cases, more than money, company culture and a positive work environment will help retain employees. A toxic environment where employees don’t feel appreciated is detrimental to keeping employees, especially with younger employees who culturally don’t handle criticism like past generations.
