Good day everyone!

 

I was wondering if anyone is going to be at the Ratchet and Wrench Conference?

 

http://rwconference.com/

 

If I understand correctly, it's an annual thing. Has anyone ever been to any of them before? It's a little steep for my shop, but if it's worth it, I can dig up the money somewhere.

 

Perhaps Joe can chime in?

 

Thank you!

Michael,

Welcome aboard!

Conferences are a great way to learn new info from the
presenters and also to network with people.

Here's a quick story....
I was attending a conference, and during one of the breaks I met
a guy who shared an idea with me.

The end result was....

Two things came out of that short conversation in the hotel hallway.

1) That one idea he shared with me increased our sales by close to $60,000.

2) We started a business relationship and friendship that has benefited
both of us for many years.

There's no doubt in my mind you will meet a lot of sharp people.

      Your First Step to Attract & Retain Quality Employees
      By Joe Marconi in Joe's Blog
         4 comments
      A recent study, done by Harvard Business School, concluded that the real problem with attracting and retaining employees has more to do with the workplace environment, not pay or benefits. While the study did find that an adequate pay plan and offering an attractive benefits package did help with recruiting and retention, it’s not enough to satisfy the needs of employees, especially those of front-line workers.
      The study also stated that in 2021, many companies were convinced that giving raises, sign-on bonuses, and other perks would solve the worker shortage problem and prevent people from quitting. However, this strategy did not work. So, what does work regarding attracting quality people and keeping them employed?
      Essentially, it all comes down to the culture of your company.  Management: do all it can to consider the individual needs of your employees. Your employees want to feel that they have a voice, that their opinion counts, and that their role in your company is both respected and recognized. Yes, pay and a great benefits package will go a long way toward making your employees feel secure, but that’s only financial security. People want more than money.
      To attract and keep top talent requires creating a company that people feel proud to work for. You need to reach the hearts and minds of your employees. Become a leader that people are enthusiastic about working for. You want your employees bragging to their friends and family that your shop is a great place to work!
      Step one to attracting and retaining quality employees: Create an amazing workplace environment for your employees!  Trust me, happy employees make happy shop owners too!
