You hired them. You pay them every two weeks. Most of them are looking for ways to do as little as possible without losing the paycheck. It is not a few bad apples. And it did not start with COVID.
Kevin Burr owns Barracuda Staffing and Consulting. His companies have made more than 14,000 hires. Clarence brought him on to answer one question: when most workers show up checked out, what does a small business owner actually do about it?
In this episode:
-
80% of workers now show up actively disengaged. That means looking for ways to avoid the work while keeping the job and the paycheck.
-
If you have more than three employees, you need a handbook. The employment laws apply whether you think you are big enough or not.
-
Culture is not something you chase. You run your business through your people, and culture is what comes out the other side.
Listen now to discover why 80% of workers show up checked out, and the one question you can ask this week that will tell you everything about your team's culture.
