“How long has your crew been together?” I asked.
“Humph,” Riley snorted. “A couple of people have been here over a year, but most, just a few months. Lots of turnover.”
“And what is the cost of that turnover?”
“Expensive. It’s not that the work we do is that complicated, but there are so many details to keep track of that it takes a while to get your arms around everything. And we don’t do much formal training, more like shadowing other people on the team who have been here. Seems like just when we get someone trained up, they quit.”
“So, what’s in it, the job, I mean, for someone who sticks with it, pays attention to detail, sniffs out problems before they mushroom?”
Riley was quiet. “They don’t get yelled at,” he replied.
So sad when this is all you can say about your organization.
