Are you struggling to find and retain great talent? It’s a common complaint among employers: “I can’t find good people; they just don’t want to work.” But what if the problem isn’t with the candidates, but with us as employers? Too often, we’ve done a disservice to our team members by not providing a clear roadmap for success. When new hires don’t have clarity on what success looks like in their roles, or the key metrics they’ll be measured against, they’re left feeling lost and unmotivated. The Solution? Provide Clear Context and Support. As leaders, we need to step up and offer the training and support our employees need to thrive. When we define success and create a transparent framework, employees are not only happier but also more productive. This clarity boosts morale and ultimately drives positive outcomes for the business. So, if you’re an employer struggling to find and keep great team members, it’s time to take ownership. Start by: 1. Clearly Defining Success: Be explicit about what success looks like in each role. 2. Setting Expectations Upfront: During the recruitment and interview process, communicate how candidates can achieve success and how you’ll support them. 3. Providing Ongoing Support: Offer training and resources to help them grow. When employees understand their path to success and feel supported, they’re more likely to spread their wings and soar. It’s a win-win situation that leads to a more engaged and productive team, ultimately benefiting the entire business. Let’s take ownership and empower our teams to succeed! 🛠️💼 #Leadership #EmployeeSuccess #TeamBuilding #BusinessGrowth
