Close Up Radio Spotlights JoAnne Marlow of Systems for Engaging Teams

Vancouver, BC – COVID-19 has given businesses the opportunity to hit the reset button that they may have needed. Many are taking the time to think deeply about how they can adapt competitively to this new paradigm.

Employee Turnover Reduction Specialist JoAnne Marlow believes organizations should be using this reset opportunity to reconnect with the most important parts of their business: their business model and their employees. Marlow, the founder of Systems for Engaging Teams, works with business leaders who are frustrated when their best talent leaves the company, creating a decrease in productivity and a high cost for replacements. JoAnne diagnoses the main cause of attrition, and recommends a viable system to reduce or eradicate the symptoms.

According to JoAnne, investing in employee retention and productivity strategies far outweighs the hard and “soft” costs, e.g., workload induced anxiety resulting in reduced productivity and absenteeism, associated with employee turnover.

Marlow says the key is to recruit people who exhibit the same core values and competencies laid out by the leadership team. This allows the company to hire talent that share similar visions and values; it helps attract more people like the organization’s best people. That is what delivers the productivity, profitability, retention, and strategic goal achievement that businesses seek.

Employees are often excited when they can validate the work achieved because they know their work is important, valued, and recognized, and they can see their progress in enhancing their competency levels along a career path.
