Ever feel like you're taken for granted at work? Do you wonder how your organization can better value and retain its people?" Our returning guest, Jeff Kortes, a seasoned headhunter and retention expert, joins us to unpack these pressing questions. Jeff brings a wealth of knowledge from his experiences, specifically focusing on the power of great bosses, teammates, and a positive culture in driving employee retention and productivity.
We then shift gears, examining the significance of workplace culture in keeping people gainfully employed. Jeff shares his perspective on viewing employees not as a cost center, but as an investment center. The conversation takes an interesting turn as we discuss the pitfalls of the "churn and burn" approach, and the benefits of fostering an environment of respect, inclusivity, and fairness.
Finally, we dive into the heart of any organization - its value system. Jeff provides invaluable insights into translating these values into positive behaviors, as well as potential conflicts between various stakeholders. We also address the dynamics of setting clear expectations in a remote work setting. Tune in to this revelatory episode and discover how you could unlock the hidden potential within your workforce. Don't miss it!
