      The Toolbox is Last to Leave, First is the Heart
      By Joe Marconi in Joe's Blog
         0 comments
      It always amazes me when I hear about a technician who quits one repair shop to go work at another shop for less money. I know you have heard of this too, and you’ve probably asked yourself, “Can this be true? And Why?” The answer rests within the culture of the company. More specifically, the boss, manager, or a toxic work environment literally pushed the technician out the door.
      While money and benefits tend to attract people to a company, it won’t keep them there. When a technician begins to look over the fence for greener grass, that is usually a sign that something is wrong within the workplace. It also means that his or her heart is probably already gone. If the issue is not resolved, no amount of money will keep that technician for the long term. The heart is always the first to leave. The last thing that leaves is the technician’s toolbox.
      Shop owners: Focus more on employee retention than acquisition. This is not to say that you should not be constantly recruiting. You should. What it does means is that once you hire someone, your job isn’t over, that’s when it begins. Get to know your technicians. Build strong relationships. Have frequent one-on-ones. Engage in meaningful conversation. Find what truly motivates your technicians. You may be surprised that while money is a motivator, it’s usually not the prime motivator.
      One last thing; the cost of technician turnover can be financially devastating. It also affects shop morale. Do all you can to create a workplace where technicians feel they are respected, recognized, and know that their work contributes to the overall success of the company. This will lead to improved morale and team spirit. Remember, when you see a technician’s toolbox rolling out of the bay on its way to another shop, the heart was most likely gone long before that.

      In this episode, Craig O’Neill features his guest, friend, CEO, and co-presenter from Vision Hi-Tech Training & Expo, Chris Cloutier!
      Vision came and went so quickly - it became necessary for these two to coordinate a stop, sit down, and reflect on their takeaways from the Speak Up - Effective Communication Speech Workshop they led at VISION this year.
      As with most things - there are unexpected outcomes, and the positive outcomes from this course ‘reverberated’ throughout the week.
      Friendships were forged - Fellowship ensued - Fears were confronted.
      Today’s Word of the Day (by the way):
      Reverberation
      noun
      prolongation of a sound; resonance. a continuing effect; a repercussion.
      Chris and Craig Converse on many topics here:
      Observations on the interactions post-course with attendees who were more familiar with each-other How this was unique compared to other class experiences Why this was SO GOOD to do this course at the FRONT of an event  All Day vs. half day - Creating the space for engagement A word on benign genuine - and why 'church came to class' Favorite moments from the course Thoughts on why the course becomes so impactful for people Chris wisdom after Craig asks Chris could imagine his passion for this topic culminating into the things they are discussing. What they hope to see next for the participants in this course.
