Authentic employee recognition is what keeps a positive company culture alive. It's not just about saying "good job" but really meaning it, showing that you see and appreciate their hard work. This kind of recognition builds trust, bonds teams tighter, and keeps folks motivated to bring their A-game. Plus, it's a win-win – happier employees stick around longer and keep crushing it, which spells success for the whole company

That’s why it’s shocking and disheartening when leaders get it wrong. Case in point: Sephora North America hit $10 billion in sales recently and sent out stale cookies to their employees instead of recognizing them in a meaningful way.

So where did Sephora go wrong?

This episode is about how Sephora North America’s leaders missed the mark with their employee recognition program and what leaders like you can do to avoid the same pitfalls.

Understanding and staying true to your core values is crucial for a successful company. These values shape your company's culture, which is vital for attracting and retaining employees, boosting productivity, and simplifying the hiring process.

To really make your company's core values come to life, you have to ingrain them into everything you do. Get your team excited about living those values every day. Talk about them shout them out when someone nails it, and lead by showing how it's done. That's how you turn values from words on paper into a living, breathing part of your company culture.

Cody Sutton, CEO of Guide Energy, exemplifies this. Despite being in an industry known for high turnover, his company has retained almost all its employees since its start in 2019. Cody faced the daunting challenge of surviving the Covid-19 pandemic as a young entrepreneur. Amidst building his infrastructure and client base, all oil and gas activity ceased in Oklahoma. He pivoted, entering new markets, manufacturing unfamiliar products, and connecting with new clients. Despite the adversity, he persevered, returning to his niche and experiencing steady growth thereafter.

Let's learn from Cody how he

Transitioned from annual to quarterly goal-setting
Implemented routine systems for communication through weekly and monthly updates, enhanced team collaboration, and goal alignment
Focused on quarterly goal setting led to significant growth, with the company expanding by 400% year over year.
During challenging times, pivoted the company's focus and product offerings, demonstrating resilience and innovation in response to market demands.

For business leaders, it's important to keep an eye on productivity and happiness. Think of productivity as the engine of your business—it's what keeps things moving forward and the doors open. But, you can't forget about happiness. It's like the oil that keeps that engine running smooth. Happy workers mean less drama, more awesome ideas, and folks actually wanting to stick around. Plus, they're less likely to call in sick or bail on you when the going gets tough. When you get the balance right, everyone's winning—you're hitting those targets, and your team is wired for success.

In this episode, we meet Eran Mizrahan. Eran started his business in 2021. Eran Mizrahan is the Co-founder of Ingredient Brothers. They make the ingredient search and procurement process easier for customers. He's built this global team where both happiness and productivity go hand in hand.

In this episode, you will hear Eran’s experience related to:

Intentional culture-building
What value-based hiring looks like for him
Early recruitment of top-level people for early-stage businesses

The importance of face-to-face interactions for team unity

In these times of extreme polarization, leaders must prioritize the development of the skill of engaging in difficult conversations and mastering the art of respectful disagreement. There is a pivotal role these abilities play in fostering effective communication, nurturing healthy relationships, and driving organizational growth. Difficult conversations, whether addressing employee performance issues or navigating conflicting viewpoints among advisors, are inevitable in any leadership role and demand a willingness to navigate them constructively. By honing the ability to respectfully disagree, leaders create an environment where diverse perspectives are valued, leading to richer discussions, enhanced problem-solving, and ultimately, more informed decision-making. Plus, mastering these skills cultivates trust, strengthens team dynamics, and empowers individuals to voice their opinions confidently, fostering a culture of openness and innovation within the organization.

In this episode, our guest is Justin Jones Fosu, the CEO of Work Meaningful. Justin brings over two decades of expertise in employee experience and inclusion. His book, "I Respectfully Disagree," offers a refreshing take on conflict management, emphasizing the significance of genuine respect and understanding in difficult conversations. Through his unique framework, Justin encourages individuals and organizations to challenge perspectives, cultivate curiosity, and seek common ground. With a passion for creating respectful environments, Justin's work has significantly impacted leaders and teams, fostering healthier and more productive discussions. His approach not only provides practical tools but also delves into the heart of respectful disagreement, making his insights invaluable for those seeking to enhance their conflict-resolution skills.

Justin states that his book is “certainly not making the claim that respect alone can solve the world’s biggest problems. But respect on an interpersonal level, in our day-to-day lives, can plant seeds of change in the hearts of those we encounter.”

In this episode, you will be able to:

understand conflict management and how to give feedback to foster a positive work environment.
prioritize compassionate thinking for a happier, more productive team.
take a strategic approach to constructive dialogue for professional success.
learn how to stay connected to people and enhance teamwork and communication.

What would you do if you were leading a team facing a multi-million dollar financial deficit?

In this episode, meet Lena Wilson, the CEO of Vista del Mar and Family Services in Los Angeles. Lena moved to California from Michigan to take over the CEO position in 2019. She was hired in order to provide a pathway toward sustainability to an organization that was losing an average of $3.2 million annually.

In March of 2020, the pandemic hit. Lena began her leadership journey by leading VDM with a staff of 500 in a time of chaos for which there was no blueprint. In two years, they had managed to not only decrease the deficit but produce a near break-even revenue stream by creating a culture of fiscal responsibility, education, and accountability. Lena managed to move the needle.

In tough times, it's crucial for business leaders to build a sustainable workforce culture. It’s like the glue holding everything together. Think of it as the secret that keeps employees motivated, engaged, and ready to tackle whatever curveballs come their way. When things are tough, a solid culture not only boosts morale but also sparks innovation and resilience. Plus, it's a magnet for top talent who want to be part of something bigger than just a job. So, while it might seem like a fluffy idea to some, investing in a solid culture is actually a smart move that pays off big time in the long run.

In this episode, Lena talks about:

How she transformed the organization in a challenging financial environment, maintaining both employee morale and organizational stability.
How her leadership style emphasizes collaboration and support, rallying the team to navigate financial challenges and the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
How she aims to balance organizational growth with sustainability, focusing on pacing growth appropriately and restructuring for future success.

At Turning The Corner, we hear from so many leaders that they can't find good people to fill their jobs, whether it's from turnover or growth. One of the things we do is recruiting and as a recruiter in certain fields, we do find that it is hard to find good people.

Meghan's unconventional approach to talent acquisition, particularly through an innovative internship program, has proven successful in transforming interns into valued CFOs.

I know you were a pain in the butt to manage when you were 22. We all were. I have a somewhat controversial take on young people entering the workplace. It’s time to stop complaining about the younger generation and get real about our responsibilities as leaders. We have to teach people how to have a job, just like we were. At one time in our lives, we were the new people in the workplace. We were the ones who needed to be taught how to have a job and be productive members of an organization.

For example, at 22, I was new to IBM and just entering the workforce when I had the audacity to send the CEO an email with my thoughts on the strategy! Thankfully, my manager handled the situation with grace and gave me a chance, and I ended up having a long career with IBM.

My point is that instead of complaining, let’s lean into our leadership skills and embrace the young professionals who have skills, ideas, and gifts to contribute. As Founders and CEOs, we can’t thrive in the People Revolution without them. Watch or listen for a few minutes to get some more ideas on this topic.

Compensation plans are like the rulebook for how businesses distribute pay to their employees. Compensation plans cover everything from your basic salary to bonuses, perks, and benefits that make a job more than just a paycheck. Think of them as the playbook for keeping everyone happy and paid fairly. They're not just about following the law and avoiding messy legal battles over pay; they're also about showing employees they're valued and keeping them motivated to do their best work. When folks feel like they're getting a fair shake, they're more likely to stick around, give their all, and even spread the good word about your company. Plus, throwing in some performance-based incentives can really light a fire, pushing the whole team to feel more motivated.

In this episode, Kendra shares how you will be able to:

Understand the importance of compensation strategy for business success.
Discover the importance of equal pay for your workforce.
Learn effective ways to manage compensation gaps in your organization.
Gain insights on how to avoid discrimination lawsuits to protect your business.
Explore the benefits of conducting fair pay studies for a motivated workforce.

**Too many leaders just accept high turnover as a normal part of doing business. At Turning the Corner, we will argue until we’re exhausted that this is unacceptable. All turnover is expensive, and we need to make it as low as possible as owners and as business leaders. Our guest on this episode has every reason to have a high turnover rate, as she's in a tough industry. Yet she maintains a less than 5% employee turnover and has even grown her staff by 25% over the last year.

Karen Norheim is the President and CEO of American Crane & Equipment Corporation, a manufacturer of overhead cranes and hoists. They even provide equipment to NASA to lift spacecraft! The work can be dirty, dangerous, and backbreaking, yet their turnover is almost nothing. We're going to find out how she's made this possible.**

In this episode, we had a great conversation about how she:

Cultivated a strong company culture for success (and you can, too, no matter the industry.)
Developed grit to overcome challenges and thrive with her team
Embraced transparency and communication for a thriving workplace when new leadership takes over.
Connected the work to a larger purpose for motivation and fulfillment.

You will also hear Karen’s inspiring story and lessons learned from taking over the family business that were passed down to her by her father.//WHEN YOU’RE READY, HERE’S HOW WE CAN HELP YOU//

If your company is growing and you’re recruiting new talent, it is imperative that you have a solid new hire onboarding strategy. Effective onboarding of new employees is crucial for the long-term success of your company. A well-structured onboarding process sets the tone for a positive work environment and fosters a sense of belonging. When new hires feel welcomed and supported from the beginning, they are more likely to integrate seamlessly into the company culture. This integration is essential for building a cohesive team that collaborates efficiently and shares common values and goals.

A comprehensive onboarding program ensures that employees understand their job, roles, responsibilities, and the company's mission and values. This clarity not only boosts individual performance but also aligns the new hire with the organization's overarching objectives. As a Founder or CEO, this is your opportunity to lean in and get the new employee set on the right path.

Onboarding also plays a pivotal role in talent retention. When employees receive proper guidance and training during their initial days, they are more likely to feel engaged and committed to their roles. This positive experience reduces the likelihood of turnover, saving you time and resources invested in recruitment.

So, if you have ever struggled with employee turnover and underperforming team members like most leaders do at some point in their careers, you may want to skip the standardized orientation program. There is a better way to ensure employee retention and job performance!

In this episode, you will be able to:

Understand the relationship between recruiting and onboarding.
Discover the crucial differences between onboarding and orientation for better employee integration.
Uncover the key to providing effective feedback, training and support during the onboarding process.
Learn how managers play a pivotal role in coaching new employees to success.

Leading a company and trying to build an amazing culture in the midst of challenges? It can often seem like an impossible task. And guess what advice some of us get when things get tough? "Just crank up the productivity, forget about how your team's doing." Seriously? Turns out, that kind of one-track thinking just leads to disengaged and burnt-out folks on your team. And trust me, that's a recipe for disaster – less work getting done and people jumping ship left and right.

But here's the real deal: we've got to see beyond this tunnel vision. Ignoring what your team really needs is a dead-end road. Especially in wild times, leaders need to see that how your team feels and how well your company does are joined at the hip. It's all about putting a culture in place that's got your team's back, not just professionally but personally too. When leaders wrap their heads around this, magic happens. You end up with a team that not only survives the chaos but comes out on the other side stronger, more into their work, and totally committed to crushing those shared goals.

In this episode, you will hear from Yi Yang. Yi is Managing Principal at Summit Engineering, Inc., which serves wineries and other projects in California. He’s got an interesting perspective on leading through chaos, having come to the US at age 14 and battling imposter syndrome. Now, he’s a success and knows that he doesn’t have to be like everyone else in order to be accepted. In fact, his differences are his strengths as a leader, especially when times are tough.

In this episode, you will:

Discover effective strategies for leading through challenges from a “Best Place to Work” award winner.
Learn how to cultivate a thriving company culture that prioritizes employee well-being.
Navigate and adapt to the constantly changing HR needs like work from home and flexible work with confidence.
Hear how Yi makes work fun for employees and pick up some ideas you can implement.

You may have noticed in the media lately that there is a lot of unionization, as well as threats to unionize and even regulation that is being forced upon businesses. Starbucks and Amazon are two companies in the headlines recently for employee unionization in response to what they perceive as unfair working conditions.

In 2022, more than 16 million workers in the United States were represented by a union—an increase of 200,000 from 2021 (according to the Economic Policy Institute)

Why is this massive increase happening? Well, it really comes back around to the things we talk about all the time, which is the People Revolution, and that people are no longer going to tolerate working for companies that do not treat them well. If they feel trapped in a job, it's going to force them to actually try to do what they can to make the conditions better. Oftentimes when companies are unionizing or threatening unionization, it's because of these reasons.

In this episode, you will be able to:

understand the impact of unionization and labor dynamics on business success.
recognize the consequences of unfair treatment of workers in the workplace.
discover the importance of addressing short notice scheduling for a better work-life balance.
learn how inadequate compensation and stressful conditions affect employee satisfaction.

Tune in to learn more about the 2024 Union Boon and what you can do to ensure your employees are happy.

It is often suggested that implementing more rules and policies will improve team performance, but did you know this approach can actually lead to disengagement and a lack of motivation among team members?

Micromanaging and enforcing strict rules can create a negative work environment and decrease productivity. Instead, it is important to recognize the significance of company culture and learn effective strategies to cultivate a strong and positive work environment.

In this episode, you will hear from Anthony Lambatos, who, alongside his wife, April, is the co-owner of Footers Catering.

Their sister company, MIBE (an acronym for Make It Better Everyday), provides leadership and culture education for the hospitality industry.

Anthony's expertise in fostering a positive workplace atmosphere offers valuable insights for business leaders and managers aiming to enhance team performance and elevate their company's profitability.

Dr. Yoram Solomon has published 16 books, 22 patents, and was one of the creators of Wi-Fi and USB 3.0 technologies, for which he was dubbed "TI's Great Innovator." Dr. Solomon was named by Innovation Excellence as one of the Top 40 Innovation Bloggers, and by Thinkers 360 as one of the top 20 Global Thought Leaders and Influencers on Culture. He was a columnist at Inc. Magazine, Innovation Excellence, and other publications, where he published more than 300 articles.

In this episode, Yoram and Kendra Prospero explore how employer trust sparks employee innovation. Yoram answers some intriguing questions such as, does everyone need to be a leader or can they remain as an individual contributor and still be successful?

Yoram shares interesting insights like the pitfalls to avoid when trying to build trust and the steps leaders need to take in order to build trust based on his research and proven process.

Why should you focus on building trust in the work place? Because employee trust is the cornerstone of a healthy and thriving workplace, fostering an environment where individuals feel valued, respected, and empowered. When employees trust their leaders and colleagues, it cultivates open communication, collaboration, and a sense of belonging. This trust results in increased job satisfaction, higher morale, and a willingness to go above and beyond in their roles. Trust reduces turnover rates, as loyal and content employees are more likely to stay with an organization, ultimately saving on recruitment and training costs. Additionally, a foundation of trust paves the way for innovation and risk-taking, as employees feel safe in expressing their ideas and challenging the status quo. Ultimately, the benefits of employee trust ripple throughout the organization, leading to higher productivity, improved employee well-being, and a stronger competitive edge in the ever-evolving business landscape.

Hiring former military personnel into corporate environments brings a multitude of benefits that extend beyond their specialized skill sets. Despite the preconceived notions about the lack of adaptability of ex-military individuals, they possess a wealth of qualities that can greatly enrich a corporate setting.

By overcoming these stereotypes, organizations can tap into a reservoir of disciplined, goal-oriented, and resilient professionals who have demonstrated their ability to excel under pressure. Their extensive training in teamwork, leadership, problem-solving, and effective communication can catalyze innovation within the company and foster an environment of collaboration. Furthermore, integrating veterans into corporate culture not only breaks down misconceptions but also encourages diversity of thought, contributing to a well-rounded workforce capable of approaching challenges from various angles in an often untapped talent pool.

Also, transitioning former military personnel into corporate roles doesn't only benefit the organizations themselves, but also has a positive impact on the community and society at large. Veterans often face challenges as they navigate the shift from military to civilian life, and providing them with meaningful employment can alleviate some of these difficulties.

In this episode, we talk with Robyn Grable of Talents ASCEND, an AI skills-based talent sourcing program.

In the contemporary landscape of corporate culture, recognizing and prioritizing employees' mental health has transcended from a mere consideration to a vital responsibility for companies. The well-being of employees directly impacts their productivity, engagement, and overall satisfaction within the workplace. In light of this, companies have an ethical and moral duty to provide adequate mental health resources to their employees. Just as physical health benefits are considered an integral part of employment packages, mental health resources should be equally accessible and emphasized. A workforce that feels supported in their mental health journeys exhibits increased resilience, reduced burnout rates, and enhanced creativity, ultimately contributing to a more innovative and productive work environment.

In this episode, mental health expert Joyce Marter shares practical ways company leaders can support employee mental health initiatives and discusses why other approaches including realistic work hours also play a pivotal role in nurturing employees' mental well-being.

Joyce is a licensed psychotherapist, entrepreneur, national speaker, author, and mental health thought leader. Her book is The Financial Mindset Fix: A Mental Fitness Program for an Abundant Life.

By tuning in to this episode, we hope you will understand that cultivating an atmosphere of understanding and empathy through caring leadership is paramount. Leaders who demonstrate compassion and actively engage in open conversations about mental health create a safe space for employees to express their concerns and seek guidance. Such leaders not only reduce the stigma around mental health issues but also contribute to a cohesive and supportive organizational culture. In the long run, companies that prioritize mental health witness increased employee loyalty, reduced turnover rates, and a reputation for being an employer of choice in the competitive job market.

All the things that make great teachers also make great leaders: encouragement, adaptability, kindness, care. Our guest today, Lisa Collum, is a former teacher who has built a multimillion-dollar curriculum company using all those skills she used to use in the classroom to now drive a great culture.

Lisa is the founder and CEO of a multimillion-dollar curriculum company, Top Score Writing, Inc., and the owner of a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Coastal Middle and High School. She developed her first writing curriculum while teaching in a low-performing Title I school, creating a systematic approach to helping students improve crucial writing skills. In the first year, Lisa’s step-by-step program increased the percentage of her students scoring at the proficiency level on state writing assessments from 38% to 95%, rising to 100% for the following two years. Due to the program’s success and starting with only $100 and a binder of 25 lessons, Lisa began selling the curriculum to others and grew Top Score Writing into a nationwide seven-figure business.

With a mission to serve children in her community, in 2016 Lisa bought a local private school and turned it into a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Coastal Middle and High School is a place for students who need a unique approach to their education. In addition to positively affecting thousands of students with her curriculum and school, Lisa has dedicated her career to helping fellow educators get the training and resources they need and inspiring other women entrepreneurs to create successful businesses of their own. When she’s not running her education companies or presenting as a keynote speaker, Lisa can be found cheering on the sidelines of her children’s games, giving back to the community, and spending quality family time with her husband and four children.

Tune in to this episode to hear Lisa’s inspiring story and learn how you can apply her classroom lessons to your boardroom.

There aren’t many entrepreneurs whose career experience includes police officer, presidential campaign fundraiser, marketing strategist and founder of two healthcare IT startups. Cindy Jordan’s current venture came to light in 2017 motivated by her stepdaughter’s struggle with a mental health crisis. Vowing to wage a war on loneliness, Cindy was moved to create Pyx Health. It's this idea that if they can stop one family from having to experience what they've experienced, then they're making a difference. And it turns out, they probably do that about 900 times a day because that's how many intervention calls they make.

Five years later, Pyx Health is a proven solution that is helping the country’s most at-risk populations by tackling loneliness and closing gaps in care in real-time. Cindy’s goal is to see broad healthcare industry transformation - to have loneliness a diagnosable, treatable, and covered condition.

Cindy shares her family’s story because the heart of what Pyx is about is culture. What she knew is that they wanted to take her daughter’s legacy and figure out how to turn it into an actual culture that you could wrap your arms around, talk about, and write down on a piece of paper.

The question we explore in this discussion is this: is there a better way to manage culture than values?

Do you know how rare it is to see a huge focus on culture and people on a 10 year strategic plan? It is extremely rare. In the 12 years that I've been in the HR Business, I don't know if I've ever seen a plan like that for a smaller business. Jim Derry’s company, Field Fasteners, have a 10 year plan that has six pillars and three of them have to do specifically with their people and their culture. The bottom line is this, when you focus on your people, you get more profitability, which is what Jim and his business partner have done. They bought Field over 30 years ago and the first 15 years they didn’t have this focus on people. But then they turned the corner and decided to put the focus around their people and they grew significantly - to the tune of going from $8M to over $100M in a commodity business selling Class C goods. So if I can re-emphasize one thing to you is this - when you focus on your people. You get more profitability.

In this episode, you will learn:

How to recruit top talent through the power of identifying your core values and culture fit
How Jim Derry grew his company by 150X by focusing on people first
Why culture needs top priority in a strategic plan
How to keep recruiting costs low and retention high through the power of culture

When you're running a business, it's common, and maybe easier - to think that you should obsess over the customer experience. But what if you spent as much time or - even more - obsessing over the employee experience? After all, the better your employees are, the better your customer experience is going to be.

Our guest on this episode has taken that perspective, and it’s working well. Bob Ruffolo is the CEO and Founder of Impact, which is a sales and marketing training company that helps growing organizations end their dependency on outsourced agencies and, instead, bring that talent in-house. He's obsessed with his company's culture and growth. Plus, they have incredible results to back it up. Their employee onboarding program is like nothing I’ve ever seen before, and their hiring process can take 1-3 months. They also have amazing career development internally, and all this effort has resulted in a culture where employees and customers stay. When you obsess about the employee experience, everyone wins!

In this episode, you will learn:

why it’s important to create an environment where people want to stay, especially when you’re in start-up mode and want to convince people to be in it for the long haul
why getting feedback from your employees and taking action is vital to your success as a leader
how to create a culture where your team feels empowered to be a steward of the company alongside of you
Bob’s unique new employee recruiting and onboarding process that results in new hires that are aligned with their “12 core competencies”

As a leader, how do you forge forward in a post-pandemic world when there is no longer a playbook on how work is “supposed” to go? That’s the question we explore with Julia Y.C Huang in this episode.

Julia Y.C. Huang, founder, and CEO of Intertrend Communications, brings over 35 years of experience as a leading voice in Asian culture, both as the leader of her own creative agency, as the founder of numerous entrepreneurial ventures, as the promoter of cultural and artistic events and initiatives, as a speaker and recognized voice in the communication industry, and as a committed contributor to numerous non-profit associations. While an expert creative agency leader, Julia’s path toward becoming CEO of the multimillion-dollar agency was circuitous – she lived and studied in three countries and never worked a day at an advertising agency before starting her own.

Huang forged a path based on a unique ability to leverage deep cultural sensitivity and insight, combined with a passion for entrepreneurship and a desire to leave a lasting, positive impact on society. A Taiwanese woman whose time was divided living across Asia, Huang arrived in the States with a strong perspective on what it means to be Asian and identified a gap in the marketing and advertising market, and recognized the cultural challenges Asians experience in the U.S.

Julia shares insights from her experience including:

what values she looks for when recruiting new team members that go beyond her skill set
her unique approach to what it takes for her employees to be truly happy
how leaders can build company culture in diverse work environments with people from varying backgrounds
why leaders need to learn as they go along and be willing to admit mistakes
