If good people keep leaving, you will never grow to your potential.
If a high percentage of your people are always new, you can’t build a company of trained, experienced professionals. You are always recruiting and training, and paying for people’s mistakes.
If no one leaves, you may be a stale company with stale energy. You may be accepting mediocrity in some areas.
Find the Goldilocks turnover rate. Usually, it’s not too much, and of that, it’s you correcting your hiring mistakes much of the time.
I love that spring has sprung! It’s my favorite time of year. The comment about possibly having a stale company you made is spot on. I found out recently that one of my tenured employees was becoming an issue with new hires. Sometimes companies outgrow some people. simple as that!
We hired someone last summer and he was pushing my buttons on the first week. I thought that was strange for a new hire so I Googled him. Turns out he had been arrested for drug dealing. Nobody at my company bothered to background check him before he was hired. He was let go a couple months later but never should have been hired. Bad seed. Great pic! Braaap!
