You Don't Have a Hiring Problem. You Have a Winter Problem.
Business Resources One
Seasonal businesses like snow & ice management don’t always lose good employees because of the labor market or a lack of loyalty. Sometimes, the real problem is much simpler: their employees can’t afford the uncertainty of winter.
In this episode, Mike Voories explains how off-season income gaps affect retention, limit the quality of your applicant pool, and push dependable employees toward year-round work. He also shares four practical ways owners can create more predictable winter employment—without pretending that keeping an entire crew busy is easy or inexpensive.
You’ll learn:
• Why seasonal turnover is often math, not disloyalty
• How winter uncertainty affects recruiting as well as retention
• Four ways to reduce the off-season income gap
• Why a partial solution can still change an employee’s decision
• The one conversation you should have before fall
