PRESSING ISSUES
BE A TEAM,
NOT A FAMILY
Brian Adam, president and owner of Olympus
Group (olympusgrp.com), shared tips and
tricks on hiring and retaining great employees
with attendees of the SGIA Apparel Decorators
Luncheon. Adam was named by Glassdoor as
one of the top 25 CEOs to work for in 2017, and
grew his business from $12 million in revenue
to $35 million in just one year.
"Hiring employees who care about what
they do, care about their company, and enjoy
their job will help you stand out and run a better business," he said after stating that fewer
than ¹/³ of US employees feel engaged at work.
TIPS TO TAKE BACK TO YOUR BUSINESS
Engagement tools: Define your culture,
including your mission and your core values,
and share it on your website and with your
company regularly. Have an annual Core Value
Awards Program as a way to reiterate values
and recognize top employees.
Onboarding and new employee
recognition: Have a set schedule for an
employee's first day that includes a later start
time, meeting the president, and avoiding a
plethora of HR documents, so they go home
excited to come back.
Give employees a voice: Create a suggestion program, schedule lunch and learns,
and conduct exit interviews with your current
employees on a yearly basis.
How to engage millennials: Avoid arbitrary rules, practice meritocracy, understand
the benefits they value, and give praise as well
as constructive feedback.
Communication: Teach employees how
your business makes money, send a weekly
update on the company, post the newsletter in
the breakroom, etc.
Appreciation: Show them you care.
"Sixty percent of employees say they're more
motivated when they're appreciated," said
Adam. Plus, it's typically free.
"We're a team, not a family," said Adam.
He relates this to his children at home who
get an equal number of presents at Christmas,
despite if one was good and one was bad all
year long. His top employees are rewarded
for best work, and others strive to obtain the
same acknowledgements.
