I have more details, but I am curious what people are actually looking for in an employer.
I have 15 employees right now.
I pay several dollars per hour higher than my competition.
We have benefits. We have PTO. I am grossly lenient on sick time, and I want my employees to have a good work/life balance but I can’t seem to actually get people to show up, on time, consistently and they have absolutely no investment in the work they do. I recently had an employee leave due to some personal issues with another employee and I was told I was the best boss they’d ever had, they just didn’t want to ever have to deal with one specific other person ever again.
What exactly am I not offering that is causing such “blah” performance in employees? I have zero work/life balance and am killing myself to keep things running while not taking home much more than the people whom I am coordinating.
