“‘When the cement is wet; you can move it with a trowel when it gets hard; you need a jackhammer’– the thing is when you can move it with a trowel, why not embed the company history in that new employee’s open mind. They’re coming to work, they don’t know what to expect. This is your chance to tell them about your company’s story.’
– Michael Houlihan
Episode Takeaway: How to solve employee turnover?
“If people are more engaged, if they understand what the principles are of the founder, then they can relate to that and they can relate to everyone they’re working with, and be more of a team player. They can care more about the company that they’re working for, instead of it just being a job. So, it solves the problem of turnover, the number one hidden cost of any company.” – Bonnie Harvey
