03 / PEOPLE & TURNOVER
Good people leave.
Standards slip.
Turnover costs twice: once to replace the person, and again in the sales lost while the new hire learns. Training and manager routines decide whether people stay and perform.
Signs you may recognize
- New hires learn by shadowing whoever is on shift.
- Your best people leave within their first year.
- Managers avoid difficult conversations.
- Standards differ by location or by shift.
- Training happened once, at hiring.
What we look at
- Hiring and the first 30 days.
- Training content and follow-through.
- Manager routines and coaching.
- Accountability conversations.
- The reasons people give for leaving.
The In-Store Sales Program gives managers one way to train and coach every new employee.
