Listen On: Apple Podcast | Google Podcasts | Spotify | Youtube
Episode Summary –
As small businesses and professionals running our own businesses, we are concerned about customer service and ensuring the people we serve are happy. However, we often fall short in making sure that our employees and teams are happy, even when we know they drive our business and determine our company’s success or failure.
Your company is as good as your employees because that’s who your client will see. So, it is vital for you to step up and ensure you build a company culture that matches the image you want to project outwardly. Don’t just focus on what your competition is doing. Compete internally, and this will help you attract and retain the best talent. People don’t leave their jobs – they leave leaders, owners, and companies because of the way they are treated. Retaining top talent means providing them with the tools and resources to succeed. People want to be successful; nobody wants to fail or feel like a failure in their job.
In this episode, Shana Allen, CEO of SM Coaching, shares insights on how to build a positive work culture that promotes happier, more productive, and loyal employees.
