CHOOSE A TOPIC

Good candidates are hard to find

You post the job and wait. Applications trickle in, and the few that arrive don't fit.

Our best people keep leaving

The employees who leave tend to be your strongest. They get offers elsewhere, or they simply decide it is time for something new.

Nobody gets honest feedback

Performance conversations happen once a year, if at all. Small problems go unmentioned until they turn into big ones.

Pay and benefits are out of step with the market

Candidates turn down offers or ask for more than you planned. Current employees mention what friends make elsewhere.

New hires don't work out

You hire someone who interviewed well, and within a few months it is clear they aren't the right fit.

Roles and responsibilities are fuzzy

Tasks fall through the cracks because everyone thought someone else was handling them. Two people do the same work while other work goes undone.

One weak performer is dragging the team down

Everyone knows who it is. Deadlines slip, quality suffers and others quietly pick up the slack.
