Podcasts about retain top talent

One of the best ways to retain the best talent in your organization is to constantly make them feel seen and appreciated. By providing sustainable rewards on a regular basis, you help ensure that everyone in the team finds purpose and fulfilment in the work that they do.

He explains how this type of employee perk crushes commute stress, lowers parking costs, and helps cut down carbon emissions. Chinmay also presents strategies on rolling out this reward program in their own organizations successfully, inspiring everyone to live healthier lives inside and outside of work.Love the show?

What if your employee perks are actually backfiring… making people disengage faster, not stay longer? The way we attract and retain talent is overdue for a serious reset. In today's Leadership Spark, we dive into why the traditional employer-employee relationship is broken and what leaders must change to stay relevant. You'll learn how outdated recruitment practices no longer work in a world where candidates interview you just as much as you interview them. We also unpack why engagement initiatives like free lunches or yoga classes, aren't fixing anything long-term, and how companies end up trapped in a cycle of quick-fix perks that fail to build a lasting connection. You'll discover the real reason behind declining engagement scores, the hidden trap of the “hedonic treadmill,” and why the next evolution of leadership is about building genuine experiences, not selling false promises.   ________________ Start your day with the world's top leaders by joining thousands of others at Great Leadership on Substack.

Authentic Leadership and People-First Culture with Chris Robinson of Maxwell LeadershipIn this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, host Josh Elledge speaks with Chris Robinson, Executive Vice President of the Maxwell Leadership Institute and founder of chrisrobinsonspeaker.com. Chris shares a transformative approach to leadership rooted in authenticity, empathy, and personal connection. This episode explores how leaders can foster a culture that retains talent, inspires teams, and builds lasting impact by putting people first.Leadership That Connects: How to Build Culture Through Trust and CareChris Robinson believes that effective leadership comes down to three critical questions every team member asks: Can I trust you? Can you help me? Do you care for me? When leaders can genuinely answer “yes” to all three, they foster deeper relationships and stronger organizational cultures. Building trust starts with transparency and consistency, while being helpful means actively supporting team growth with resources, guidance, and encouragement. Most importantly, caring for your team goes beyond metrics—it requires recognizing their aspirations, listening to their concerns, and showing genuine appreciation.The cost of poor leadership, Chris warns, is high—and turnover is just the beginning. Financial losses, low morale, and declining productivity often stem from leaders who fail to connect or invest in their people. He recommends using a “retention calculator” to understand the true cost of losing a team member and encourages proactive practices like stay interviews and real-time feedback to keep teams engaged. Leaders who create a safe, responsive environment ultimately retain top talent and reduce disruption.To build a sustainable, people-first leadership culture, Chris uses tools like the “My Favorite Things” survey—gathering personal insights about team members' interests, motivators, and milestones. Recognizing employees in small but meaningful ways—like remembering birthdays or rewarding them with their favorite treat—creates a culture of appreciation. Consistency is key: leaders must model the behavior they expect, train mid-level managers to do the same, and build common language and values across the organization using proven frameworks like those from John Maxwell.About Chris RobinsonChris Robinson is the Executive Vice President of the Maxwell Leadership Institute, an international speaker, coach, and entrepreneur. He empowers leaders to grow personally and professionally by equipping them with actionable leadership tools and people-first principles that drive real results.About Maxwell LeadershipMaxwell Leadership provides proven leadership development programs based on the teachings of John C.

Most recruiting leaders talk about casting vision, but very few actually take the time to build one that's real, clear, and worth following. In this episode of Recruiting Conversations, I walk through the five pillars of a meaningful vision, and how to develop each one in a way that moves people and magnetizes the right talent to your team. Your vision is not just about where you're going. It's about who you're becoming and who you're building it with. This episode will help you move from vague messaging to a blueprint that inspires action. Episode Breakdown [00:00] Introduction – Why most visions fall flat and how a clear, personal one becomes your recruiting advantage. [01:00] Pillar 1: Identity – Who are we really? Define the traits, values, and culture you stand on. [02:00] Pillar 2: Direction – Where are we going? Paint a vivid picture of the future you're building and why it matters. [03:00] Pillar 3: Belief – Why does this matter? Share the story, conviction, and emotion that give your vision meaning. [04:00] Pillar 4: Alignment – Who is this for? Define the ideal teammate and what mindset thrives in your environment. [05:00] Pillar 5: Path – How do we get there? Outline what the first 90 days and long-term growth look like under your leadership. [06:00] Recap – Vision becomes powerful when all five pillars are clear, aligned, and communicated consistently. [07:00] Final Challenge – Block one hour this week and start writing your vision using these five pillars as a framework. Key Takeaways If It's Vague, It's Forgettable – A compelling vision is rooted in clarity, not just motivation. Your Identity Is Your Anchor – Know who you are so you can lead with authenticity. Vision Must Inspire and Guide – It should stretch your team while showing them how to get there. Recruits Need to See Themselves in It – Alignment is key to attracting the right people. Without Path, Vision Stalls – A plan builds confidence. Recruits and team members need to know what happens next. A well-built vision becomes more than a message. It becomes a recruiting magnet and a cultural blueprint. The leaders who take time to define it clearly are the ones who build teams that last.

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.

When a law firm changes hands, the transition isn't just about numbers—it's about people. Team dynamics can shift dramatically, impacting morale, performance, and even the firm's long-term success.

Why do some companies consistently outshine their rivals, attract top talent, and spark innovation while others struggle? Many treat employee relationships like a simple transaction—initial excitement fades, and so does satisfaction. This leaves companies with disengaged teams and high turnover. In today's Leadership Spark, we'll explore how top companies have figured out the key to shifting from a transactional approach to one that treats employment as an enriching experience. Based on prominent psychologist Thomas Gilovich's research, it's clear: investing in experiences, not just tools, boosts satisfaction over time. We dive into the evolution from productivity-driven workplaces to purpose-led organizations that emphasize mutual value exchange, fostering a culture of growth, learning, and leadership. Discover how the employee experience era is redefining the way we think about work. ________________ Start your day with the world's top leaders by joining thousands of others at Great Leadership on Substack.
