RETAIL FOODSERVICE
Meaningful work
Jeff Lenard, the vice-president for strategic industry initiatives for the
National Association of Convenience Stores, always has a clever saying
ready to go. Regardless of the topic of discussion, he can offer a memorable quote that neatly sums up the message.
This was again the case when I chatted with him about the struggle
foodservice retailers are experiencing in finding and keeping good
employees. He pointed out that many times, it's not just about the job,
but what that job means.
"There's a difference in being a bricklayer and being a bricklayer for
the Sistine Chapel," he says. "It's just a matter of defining your higher
purpose."
Some jobs, especially when it comes to retail foodservice, can be
grinding, thankless endeavors. But if an employee knows the company
is involved in something bigger than just the business, they can feel
engaged with the community.
"When people are looking at the best places to work, they all begin with
something related to purpose now," Lenard says. "That's an important
element. It doesn't mean you get a hometown discount from someone
considering a couple different possibilities, but all things being equal,
what you do in the community can make a difference in what type of
workforce you attract."
It's not the only solution for the industry's current labor problems, but it
is an important step. Being able to better tell your story and show what
you do in the community could be the difference in keeping a good
employee or not.
