This is a must-listen episode for any business owner who is either:

  1. Looking to start hiring their first employee or
  2. Experiencing retention issues with their team.

Hiring and onboarding candidates is no easy task, and the process doesn’t stop when a new hire has joined the team.

It takes consistent action by the business owner to cultivate a team that resonates with your mission, can operate independently, and takes initiative to grow.

In this episode of the HerBusiness Podcast, we’re talking with Mike Michalowicz, a phenomenal keynote speaker and author of 8 books, including All In: How Great Leaders Build Unstoppable Teams.

He is a rockstar at creating a workplace where employees feel embraced, valued, and integral to the company’s mission.

In This Episode: 

  • Discover how Mike uses empathy to become deeply connected with his team members and encourages them to take initiative, follow their passions, and thrive in his business.
  • Embrace a culture of belonging by creating a workspace where employees feel like active participants in the company’s mission (this is a must-have for a thriving business).
  • Understand how to harness human connection and bring humanity back into the workplace. People ≠ Machines.
  • Dive into the concept of psychological ownership and how personalising the workplace can significantly enhance responsibility among team members.
  • Learn how to create a sense of team identity and pride that will increase retention rates and create a positive ripple effect amongst employees.
