As leaders, we know employee turnover is expensive. And while that’s bad enough, becoming demoralized because you can't seem to find a solution is even worse.

Shawn knows a thing or two about turnover from working in the restaurant industry. But at the end of the day, he still believes investing in your team is worth it—no matter how long they’re with you.
