E46 | Never Lose an Employee again PART 1 with Joey Coleman

Bestselling author and renowned speaker Joey Coleman returns to The Evolution Podcast to shares his thoughts on how the first 100 days can make or break employee retention and engagement. Joey explores the critical connection between onboarding, employee engagement, and long-term retention. Drawing on global research and real-world examples, Joey makes a compelling case for why businesses must rethink how they welcome and support new hires.  He also reflects on the impact of a recent three-month sabbatical and what it taught him about rest, leadership, and workplace culture.  Takeaways  Great onboarding boosts retention, engagement, and long-term employee satisfaction.  The first 100 days are critical for shaping employee experience and loyalty.  Employees mirror leaders – if you never take time off, they won’t either.  Strong workplace culture starts with showing genuine care beyond the 9-to-5.  Even small, thoughtful gestures can create memorable employee experiences from day one.  Unlimited vacation policies fail unless culturally supported and actively encouraged by leadership.  Most companies underestimate the financial cost of losing and replacing employees.  Treat employees like people, not just resources, and performance will follow.  Follow Joey Coleman https://joeycoleman.com/ Joey Coleman's books Never Lose a Customer Again https://amzn.to/4gMCktZ Never Lose an Employee Again https://amzn.to/3VzFPeO Listen to Joey on a previous episode of The Evolution Partners: E33 | Never Lose A Customer Again with Joey Coleman https://omny.fm/shows/the-evolution-partners/never-lose-a-customer-again-with-joey-coleman  Watch the episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheEvolutionPartners  Newsletter – each week I share interesting insights, articles and ideas you can use.
