This week’s action-packed National Restaurant Association Show created a lot of buzz around a critical topic: employee engagement - which is at an alarming 11-year low. The good news? There are some brilliant minds on the case. In a fantastic #2024RestaurantShow session, gusto! fresh bowls & wraps founder and CEO Nate Hybl, The Coca-Cola Company’s Eric Blumenthal, Olympic Gold Medalist Laurie Hernandez, and ADDO co-founder Kevin Paul Scott shared their top strategies. Nate said it best, “We may have a labor shortage, but we don’t have a labor shortage for employers who are really taking care of their folks.” When we truly listen to our teams, we can get to the root cause of turnover and take action to prevent it. That’s exactly what we’re achieving with our Harri Engage customers and the results are clear. They’re seeing a drastic reduction in sub 90-day turnover, from 44% down to 15%. And this is just the beginning. Engaged employees create a ripple effect, leading to happier guests and a healthier bottom line. Learn more from this brilliant session here ⤵

McKee Foods knew there was a better way to reach the manufacturer’s more than 6,000 employees across Tennessee, Arkansas, Virginia, and Arizona—most of whom are deskless. For years, the makers of Little Debbie snacks and Zebra Cakes relied on a traditional intranet, but “employees were not getting key information that they needed,” McKee Foods told Firstup. Now, with a modern intranet by Firstup, McKee Foods reaches the right worker, at the right time, with the right message, enabling a data-driven strategy to increase employee engagement. “Anyone who thinks they’re reaching their folks by relying on a traditional intranet is kidding themselves.” Learn more about McKee Foods’ modern intranet transformation with the Firstup intelligent communication platform: https://ow.ly/PE8g50QqbTM

Hot off the press! We polled 1,500+ restaurant employees about what motivates them at work. They said their team is just as important as financial incentives. That means you can't ignore team-building activities and behaviors that harm your culture. Like Danny Meyer said, your restaurant has a culture, whether it's intentional or not. The employees also told us: - Why they quit restaurant jobs - What makes them stick around - How they like to be trained Restaurateurs like Danny Meyer (Founder of Union Square Hospitality Group & Shake Shack), Kwini Reed (Co-Owner at Poppy + Rose), and Chris Britt (COO at Epic Brands) weighed in on the findings. They shared actionable steps to have a happier, more engaged restaurant team. See some of the key insights here 👇

Picture yourself at a dine-in restaurant, and after a delightful dinner, the waiter, Ed, politely suggests exploring the dessert menu, “Would you like tiramisu, red velvet, apple pie…?” You ask Ed, “Which one do you like the most?” And he replies candidly, “I don't know, they won't let us taste the food here.” Wouldn't that be outrageous? Offer training (and food samples!) that educates your employees on the products and services that your company offers, and consider these as tactics in your internal marketing strategy. Marketing to the internal audience is as important as marketing to the external ones. Although internal marketing may not seem to attract ROI at first glance, it does, along with many other benefits that we explore here: https://lnkd.in/d6RcGh-p #InternalMarketing #MarketingStrategy #EmployeeEngagement
