So many business owners get frustrated because they feel like many times employees are freeloading or they're just lazy throughout the day. And the more we talk about this, the more we realize that many people think it has to do with the generations. Does it? I'm not sure. Hey, it's Scott Beebe with Business On Purpose and I'm super excited to be able to talk to you about this because we were just in Providence, Rhode Island last week at the JLC Live doing a couple of talks and workshops there. One of the questions we got was about this issue with employees. We simply responded: is it your employees or is it you? You might think that millennials are lazy trophy collectors or Gen Zers are phone-addicted and directionless, but I think it might be a little different. And there's another question we've got to ask about that. Hey, before I go any farther, go to businessonpurpose.com/healthy and you can take a healthy assessment and understand the back-end clarity of your business—part of what I'm going to be talking about today. So here's the question we need to ask: how do you capture their attention? It's less about asking, "Are they lazy?" and more about asking, "Why are they lazy?" and "How do you capture their attention?" In a modern world, attention is one of the most valuable currencies we have. Time and attention are irrevocable resources—once spent, you cannot get them back. If you want to vie for the attention of any generation, not just the younger ones that we often blame, but even the older ones like me and above, there's one key element you need to focus on. Here's your silver bullet. You ready? You probably need to write this down. It's one word, starts with a C: Clarity. Employees crave clarity more than anything else—more than money, perks, and benefits. But many organizations make the mistake of waiting to provide clarity until after new hires have started. The approach is backwards. Clarity should be present from the very beginning, even before day one. Your hiring process is a preview of what potential employees can expect if they come to work with you. If it's chaotic or non-existent, then guess what they're going to assume? They're going to assume their experience is going to be chaotic and non-existent too. The same goes for your onboarding process. Many companies either do not have a structured onboarding program or, if they do, it's disorganized. The lack of clarity can lead new employees to start looking for their next job on their very first day. Now, of course, they're not going to leave on day one, but they'll start looking. Some organizations and businesses pride themselves on a "throw them to the wolves" approach to new hires, then wonder why nobody wants to work anymore. But that's not the real issue. Young adults do want to work—it's part of human nature. The problem is that they don't want to work in chaos. Back 20, 30, 40, 50 years ago, you really didn't have many options. You just had to go to work where you went to work. But now people have options. As business owners and leaders, it's our responsibility to provide clarity as an antidote to chaos. This does not mean coddling employees or lowering expectations. Instead, it means creating an environment where people understand what's expected of them and how their work contributes to the bigger picture. When you provide clarity—your mission will help significantly with this—you are more likely to have employees who not only want to work but want to bring their best efforts every day. They will be motivated to give what Chick-fil-A calls their "full-time best effort" because they have a clear understanding of what they're working for and why it matters. Clarity is not just about explaining tasks or roles; it's about creating a transparent, even vulnerable, well-structured environment where employees can thrive. When you prioritize clarity from the start, you're setting the stage for engaged, committed employees who are ready to contribute their best work. So it may be worth asking yourself and your team: Where are we not providing clarity? From before we start hiring, through the hiring process, to the onboarding process after they've been hired—and not only that, but also for our existing team—where are we not being clear? Meet together and work on that. If you want something to implement, go to mybusinessonpurpose.com/healthy to take that assessment. Also, our new book The Chaos Free Contractor is out. Little hint: it's a really good book for any business owner, but it's targeted specifically to contractors. So if you're a contractor or a contractor-support business, make sure to grab a copy of The Chaos Free Contractor. You can find it on our website and also on Amazon.

Tonight, Shawn and I—one of our coaches—are heading up to the Northeast where we've been invited to speak and present to a group of contractors in Providence, Rhode Island at the JLC LIVE convention. We're super excited about it. When we attend trade shows and talk to contractors—or really, any other business owners—we hear a common refrain: "Nobody wants to work anymore." As we listen to the complaints, we can't help but smirk a little bit. It's easy to blame Millennials or Gen Zers, but is that really the root of the problem? Is that why we can't build a loyal crew or retain the top talent we've been looking for—let alone even find it? Recently, I received an email with a subject line that said this—I'm not making this up: "Jason quit. This sucks. I'm hating Millennials." While it's tempting to point fingers at younger generations, the reality is a little more complex than that. It's not that people don't want to work—it's that they don't want to work in chaotic environments that lack clarity and direction. And now, they have something previous generations didn't: options. In the past—the '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s—you didn't have as many ways to go out and create work for yourself. But now? People have choices. So let's consider a different perspective: what if the issue isn't with the workers, but with the work environment you're providing? Are you offering a workplace that attracts and retains talent—or are you unknowingly pushing potential employees away? I'm about to share what I believe is a silver bullet—a tool that finds and retains talent better than anything else in business. Now, of course, you're going to be skeptical. I would be too. That's understandable. But I urge you to keep an open mind. If you believe this could be true—if this is a silver bullet—think about the potential impact on your business. Imagine being able to find and retain the talent you need. The solution might be very simple. Maybe even obvious. You might roll your eyes. But I challenge you to pause and consider its power. What if this one thing could transform your ability to attract and keep great employees? The key lies in this: creating an environment—or culture—of transparency, vulnerability, and purpose. Before you turn this off, just hang with me. I'm going to give you something concrete. It's about offering more than just a job—it's about providing a vision, a clear path forward, and a sense of belonging. When you offer consciousness and conciseness in your business operations—via captured processes and clear communication—then your business, through a less-than-10-word mission statement, can create a workplace people want to be part of. Right now, we're going through an interview process for a new role. The longer we go through our process, the more excited the candidates become. It's actually making it harder for us—because we're going to have to turn people away. Why is it getting harder? Because they want to work here. They see the vision—because we've shared it. They see the mission—because we've shared it. They see the core values—because we've shared them. And they say, “We appreciate this.” One of the most common things we hear back is: “I've worked with businesses that say all this, but don't do anything about it.” People—especially younger generations—notice. And yes, I said people, because this applies to all generations. But especially younger ones. They're looking for more than just a paycheck. They want to feel valued, understood, and part of something meaningful. So by focusing on clarity in your business practices and communication, you can create that kind of environment. What does that include? Weekly, agenda-driven, leader-led team meetings Weekly, one-hour departmental meetings Predictable one-on-one check-ins Annual performance feedback so team members know what's expected Executive team using a “Big 5” feedback loop, so their communication back to the team is clear and consistent And here's the big question: do you have these things written down? Before you blame an entire generation for your staffing woes, you need to take a hard look at your own business. Are you providing clarity and purpose? Here's a simple litmus test: Are your vision, mission, values, org chart, job roles, checklists, scorecards, and KPIs written down? If not, then they don't exist. The solution to your hiring and retention problems might be closer than you think. It starts with you. And it starts with writing things down. Need help? Hop on a call with one of our coaches.
