Best Practices For Managing New Employees

3 weeks ago, Shackleton’s ship the Endurance was located 9800 feet beneath the Ocean’s surface near the antarctic.

• One ship: 144’ long
• Crew of Shackleton and 27 men
• One aim: the first to cross the Antarctic continent and become the first to cross it 

Foundational reality: Your seas are changing, and the weather patterns are becoming more unpredictable.  Today the swells are 1-2 feet, and in an hour they are 5-8.  Chaos is the standard and unpredictability is the new predictable. 

Your choice: either take your existing boat out into the unpredictability of the seas…OR learn from what the seas are telling you, and build a different boat.

What you win them “through,”
you win them “to”

Employees and hiring, hiring and employees…that’s so much of what we’re being asked about in our coaching sessions. So, what’s the trick? Why is it so hard and is it going to ever get easier? While I don’t have the answer to all of that, I’d love to give you some thoughts today on how to make it easier.

Hope you’re doing well today, Thomas Joyner with the Business on Purpose Podcast today! Excited to have you listening and watching.

There really is nothing more pressing right now for small business owners than the topic of hiring and acquiring really great employees. It’s so frustrating…and look at the numbers. 4.3 million Americans left their jobs for somewhere else…in August of 2021 ALONE!!! That’s insane. And since the pandemic started, surveys are recording 20% of people have switched careers. In 2 years. 1 in 5 people! So what do we do with that? All of that uncertainty and the knowledge that everyone is hiring and everyone is looking around?

Onboarding a new team member –
Finishing the race of the hiring process

Hey, y’all! Brent Perry with Business on Purpose.

To get “pipped to the post” – 

To be defeated or overcome by someone by a very narrow margin or at the final, crucial moment, especially in a race, competition, or athletic event.

I remember a coach once showed us a video of a college track meet. It was honestly just the last 30 or 45 seconds of the race, and the video only showed 2 runners. The leader was a guy running for the University of Oregon and he had a sizable lead. In the back of the frame, you could see a runner from the University of Washington, but as the video started it looked as though the race had already been won.

So much so that the runner from Oregon was letting up a little and waving to the crowd to get them pumped up and on their feet. 

But as the clip continues, and with incredible Grit and Determination, you see the runner from Washington gaining ground.

AUSTIN BUILD EXPO KEYNOTE #1:
Material Delays And Pricing Increases

Windows that used to take 7 days in 2020 now take 7 months…maybe.  Plywood that costs $11 now demands over $70!  Volatility is the new certainty, and contractors must create the discipline to develop a different level of fitness in their business in order to navigate these new waters, with a more robust ship.  

This life-changing and engaging 45-minute talk won’t waste your time in empty market predictions but instead will provide you the tools to build a better business that allows you to navigate a new business reality.   

You will be equipped to beat chaos with predictability and to build a business that weathers volatile changes and makes time for what matters most. 

AUSTIN BUILD EXPO KEYNOTE #2:
The Construction Of A Business

People, people, people!  How do we find the right people to hire?  How do we find ANY people to hire?  

The Boomers retired early, and the emerging generations are much more selective in the work they choose.  How can you find the right people, recruit them the right way, share the right vision, and then onboard them the right way that aligns with the right mission?  

This life-changing and engaging 45-minute talk pulls from our work with hundreds of contractor owners that led to our proprietary and proven roadmap.

This roadmap will equip you to beat chaos with predictability and to build the team that will build the business to make time for what matters most.
