Employee Retention

Happy employees create happy customers

Turnover is the number one issue troubling restaurant owners today. With new “self employment” jobs like Uber and another great opportunity  “just around the corner”, it’s no surprise that employee retention is difficult.  It’s not just a problem that you can throw money at in the way of higher hourly rates or bigger benefits.  Employee retention starts with hiring the people who believe in your core values and who see a future in your company.  

Does your onboarding process show these values and the path to advancement. Once on board are you giving employees ongoing feedback about their performance and guiding them to benchmarks for advancement?  Do they feel they are an integral part of something and appreciated?

Employees who see their work as more than a job not only put greater effort into what they do, they stay where they are. They feel committed to what they are a part of.  Using, all of EyeSpy’s services – onboarding, communication systems, training, mystery shopping & coaching your business can build a positive culture and a structure that employees want to be a part of and feel they can advance in.

Real Results

“EyeSpy helped us with hiring and training for all positions. They created new hire documentation that adhered to all federal and state laws. A monthly meeting and call with each manager along with daily communication via text and email helped us not just create all these docs and manuals, but actually understand and use them. The operational consulting EyeSpy provided was priceless and brought our team to a new level.”

Laurie Negro

Owner, Betty Burgers

“In addition to evaluations we employed EyeSpy to train our managers for compliance with California’s law requiring interactive sexual harassment training. The seminars EyeSpy held were excellent and helped our managers learn the material quickly.”
