By Joe Marconi in Joe's BlogIt always amazes me when I hear about a technician who quits one repair shop to go work at another shop for less money. I know you have heard of this too, and you’ve probably asked yourself, “Can this be true? And Why?” The answer rests within the culture of the company. More specifically, the boss, manager, or a toxic work environment literally pushed the technician out the door.
While money and benefits tend to attract people to a company, it won’t keep them there. When a technician begins to look over the fence for greener grass, that is usually a sign that something is wrong within the workplace. It also means that his or her heart is probably already gone. If the issue is not resolved, no amount of money will keep that technician for the long term. The heart is always the first to leave. The last thing that leaves is the technician’s toolbox.
Shop owners: Focus more on employee retention than acquisition. This is not to say that you should not be constantly recruiting. You should. What it does means is that once you hire someone, your job isn’t over, that’s when it begins. Get to know your technicians. Build strong relationships. Have frequent one-on-ones. Engage in meaningful conversation. Find what truly motivates your technicians. You may be surprised that while money is a motivator, it’s usually not the prime motivator.
One last thing; the cost of technician turnover can be financially devastating. It also affects shop morale. Do all you can to create a workplace where technicians feel they are respected, recognized, and know that their work contributes to the overall success of the company. This will lead to improved morale and team spirit. Remember, when you see a technician’s toolbox rolling out of the bay on its way to another shop, the heart was most likely gone long before that.

Watch Full Video Episode
In our episode today, our host Craig O’Neill welcomes founding sponsor and friend, Jeremy Glassco to discuss the potential merits and the root of the desire to step away from devices and “de-smart” with regards to phones.
Our loyal listeners will remember Jeremy from Communicating With Questions: Jeremy and the Jungle [E006].
In this conversation Jeremy makes a perfect sounding board for Craig to bounce ideas off of - as he verbalizes some of his own feelings about the ‘Frenetic’ pace of interruptions today.
We ask: Is the answer something so dramatic as to retreat from a smart phone entirely?
One such option out there is a light phone - https://www.thelightphone.com/
Topics Discussed:
FOMO - The fear of missing out ….and when FOMO isn’t a bad thing if it saves lives! App apologetics and greater control over communication preferences Disciplined development Disciplined usage
At the crux of the topic is the dilemma that more efficient communication- which is one goal of technology - usually leads to more opportunities to communicate - which means our social energy is being drained all the time. What happens when our well runs dry?
Most importantly - Jeremy and Craig explore what is at the root of the desire to “desmart?”
Listeners will enjoy hearing take-aways and suggestions to restore balance and minimize distractions with the end goal of being more present - more focused - and simply better for the people we are meeting with.
Today’s Word of the Day:
Retention: noun
the continued possession, use, or control of something.
