Ep. 147 - Unconventional Employee Retention Strategy with Danica Dedmon
You may have been experiencing or hearing business owners grumble about how hard it is to find good workers. Or that the ones they have don’t put in max effort. According to Gallup, only 33% of employees in the U.S. are considered engaged in their job. That means there are a lot of “slackers” out there, right?
Before you start bringing out the axe to chop off part of your workforce, you need to start identifying “why” employees are disengaged. There are multiple reasons this can be happening but a common one is their personal life is being challenged and they don’t feel they have someone to talk to. So like it or not, what’s going on at home will effect their work performance.
But as an employer, how can you help everyone’s personal needs? You have a business to run. Introducing Marketplace Chaplains. A unique twist on the chaplains you would see at a hospital or in the military. These are safe “spaces” for employees to confide with.
Why should you care? It’s not only good for the employee but you’ll also see an increase in productivity, morale, and the bottom line. Basically, it’s good for business. Listen in as we talk to Danica Dedmon of Marketplace Chaplains and hear what your employees are dealing with and how you can improve the overall health of the organization by caring for their personal needs.
