What truly makes employees want to stay, grow, and give their best?

In this insightful episode, Bob and Jeremy discuss the complex world of employee motivation and retention, blending historical perspective with actionable strategies to help you rethink workplace satisfaction.

Starting with Henry Ford’s revolutionary workweek reforms, their discussion moves through decades of evolving workplace culture, reaching today’s pressing need for flexibility and autonomy. Bob and Jeremy explore Gallup’s latest findings on why employees choose to leave – from salary concerns to management styles – and share practical ways to address these challenges, transforming them into opportunities for engagement and retention.

With insights from renowned models like Herzberg’s two-factor theory and Hackman & Oldham’s Job Characteristic Model, the conversation highlights how purpose, personal growth, and a supportive culture contribute to sustained motivation. Relatable sales scenarios illustrate why a balance of intrinsic motivators (like achievement) and extrinsic rewards (like bonuses) is crucial for long-term commitment.

You’ll also uncover the impact of flexibility, feedback, and authentic leadership in building connections with today’s diverse workforce, especially for Gen Z and millennials who prioritise value alignment. Packed with real-world examples and effective tips, this episode equips you to create a workplace where employees feel appreciated, motivated, and ready to excel.

Tune in to discover how you can foster a culture that not only retains talent but inspires people to give their best every day.
