Meet and Exceed Your Team Members’ Expectations Starting Today
While you’re likely hiring people to grow your teams and your ability to take on more jobs, don’t overlook the importance of retaining the people already on your crew. This is especially important as the labor shortage continues to be a challenge for contractors while the industry keeps growing. Here is our advice for retaining the people on your teams.
Younger team members often place a higher priority on having a diversity of work to give them exposure to different roles, location flexibility and jobs that will increase their income. On the flip side, someone who has been in the industry for more than a decade may be more focused on finding stability, settling down in an area for the long term and looking for a better work-life balance. Understanding what each member of your team wants in their jobs and supporting them accordingly can go a long way to boosting their morale.
