Creating a fun and beneficial work environment for your employees is a must. You need lax vacation regulations, casual happy hours, and a ping pong table in the employee lounge just to retain employees – but what about you?

Kit M. Foreman, owner of Strategic Performance Solutions, joined our audience of entrepreneurs to talk through the ins and outs of creating a culture of grateful employees. Below are a few key pieces from the event to help business owners lay the foundation of a grateful (and profitable) work environment.

  SPREAD THE WORD INTERNALLY - YOUR BUSINESS IS AWESOME. Build your brand from the inside out by making the conscientious decision to market to your team. 
  CREATE A FAMILY | EVERY BUSINESS HAS ITS OWN DYSFUNCTIONAL FAMILY. Create yours by talking about the tough conversations. Ex. Making mistakes are okay! 
  GET GRATEFUL EMPLOYEES. The #1 reason employees are grateful is because they enjoy working with great people. Outline expectations, praise good behavior, and hold them accountable. 
  SCREEN FOR THE APPRECIATION GENE. Keep your interviews as conversational as possible, asking the simple question “Tell me about a job/opportunity you had that you truly appreciated.”
