Managing a trades business is not a one-person show. Different factors affect the growth of your company, and one of those factors are your employees. Since employees represent your business’s branding, getting them engaged and motivated will reap better results and long-term benefits that you and the whole company will enjoy. So, how can you develop or nurture an amazing employee experience in your company?

In the first episode of the three-part series called “Creating an Amazing Employee Experience”, I welcome Stephen Dale and Erica Leonor, professional trainers at Power Selling Pros. Stephen, Erica, and I discuss why paying attention and conversing with employees impacts the business, the values of having a savings account, and the difference between paying people and appreciating their efforts. We also highlight why leadership plays a crucial role in molding the roadmap to success.

So, tune in now to learn more about employee experience and how you can make changes to your business.

I have been listening to the pod casts for a few months now, I can't get enough of all the awesome content that you guys provide. Especially when you guys deliver it from a trade perspective which helps out a lot. Keep up the good work and hopefully one day I can afford one of the trade training trips.
