Quotables:

  • 12:11 - “I think just from the jump really, you know, to have that great employee experience from that moment we originally reached out to them when we're recruiting all the way through. We're just like very open, honest, transparent, and just, you know, welcoming them with open arms and asking for feedback all the time. Hey, what did you like, what didn't you like, what would you like to see? Always open to what are other people and ideas that they have. So that, that's really how we do it. We just stay on and, and keep chatting and figure out what, what people want and like, and enjoy.”
  • 01:33 - “I think what we've learned from the past two years of, you know, dealing with the pandemic that your, your personal life and your work life, they, they do intertwine and there's nothing that anybody can do about that. So I think really making, making everything comfortable for everybody and giving them that space is really what makes a employee happy.”
  • 24:00 - “And I think that's something that a lot of people miss when talking about work from home and the pandemic's impact is that there are a lot of desk-less workers that need to be in person. Yeah. And so where, where are their perks.”
  • 14:32 - “So, you know, there's this very common trend in the workplace of pretending that what's going on at home is not affecting you at work, but, you know, when you're dealing with grief or chronic illness or, you know, having to manage kids, that's something that many, many people have to do. So that, that creeps in.”
  • 21:17 - Michelle: “And that's why one-on-ones are very important here at our company. And we are very, very religious to those, our managers have them every other week for 30 minutes with the employee. And they're actually just a wonderful place for, you know, the coaching to go on that interpersonal communication, Hey, what's going on at home? How are things going? Or what's going on in your life? You know, is there, you know, whatever it is. And just really making that, that relationship, that trust factor.”.. Lindsay: “Yeah. Yeah. And I feel like, you know, the word accountability, it can be a harsh word, it can be an intimidating word because it's not associated with coaching as much as it is associated with getting yelled at, for example.”
