BRIDGING THE SCHEDULING GAP
The reality is that if you hire employees that have a really good fit , they ’ re going to stay longer
better environment and retain their employees for the long haul — which may not be a high priority for many larger chains and franchises , but as WorkJam posits , perhaps it should be . As Ostrenga points out , the experience and expertise of a loyal long-time employee can absolutely affect a bar or restaurant ’ s profits in ways that the owner may not consider .
“ The reality is that if you hire employees that have a really good fit , they ’ re going to stay longer , and increased retention is good for companies because of a few reasons ,” says Ostrenga . “ You don ’ t have to go out and recruit someone new , you don ’ t have to go and train them again , and if you always are hiring people and have a high turnover , what happens is that your staff is pretty new all the time and not really that experienced . So that translates into customer service and of course sales . All of these things do hit the bottom line of an employer .”
