Do you have employees? Do you struggle to find new employees? Just like marketing to current clients drives better results than marketing to obtain new clients, employee engagement for employee retention is easier than finding new talent. My most successful moments leading teams in my previous retail manager roles were when I met one on one with each team member on a monthly basis for a check in. Here are some of the questions I asked...hope it helps you in your business.
- What do you think is going well?
- What do you think isn't going well, and what suggestions do you have?
- What do you enjoy doing?
- What do you hate doing, even though you know its mandatory sometimes?
- What should I stop doing?
- What should I start doing?
- What should I continue doing?
- How can I support you more, and what would it look like?
