Why Good Workers Leave

How To Prevent Your Best Cashiers From Being Recruited      
If your best cashiers are valuable to you, they can be just as valuable to another dealer.

Our independent workplace study shows that when an cashier is recruited from one station to another, in 80 percent of the cases the management regrets losing the employee. This statistic would explain why more people today are taking steps to prevent recruitment from their ranks.

Some of our clients offer one or more of the following perks:

  • Competitive Salary
  • Paid Uniforms
  • Paid Vacations
  • Business Cards
  • Commissions
  • Continuing Benefits
  • Paid Time Off
  • Rewards for Teamwork
  • Trips
  • Dinners
  • Gift Certificates
  • Food Coupons
  • Gasoline Allowance
  • Bonuses
  • Evolvement in Business Decisions
  • Pride of Achievement

Many of our dealers pay far more than just the minimum. They believe that they get what they pay for. Several dealers retain and attract good people by paying about $1.00 per hour above the highest competitor in their class.

In one national survey, companies were asked about their policies and procedures for preventing recruitment of their key people. Here is a summary of their responses:
