Quote of the Show:
“A good or bad onboarding process can make or break the amount of time your new hire stays in your firm.” – Molly McGrath
Takeaways:
-
- Right now the unemployment rate in the legal space is sitting at 1.6% and job hopping is easier than ever.
- It’s the people who work in the front of the office as administrators or receptionists that keep a company moving. If they aren’t doing their jobs of meeting, greeting and closing clients then all other jobs are irrelevant.
- A good or bad onboarding process can make or break the amount of time a new hire stays in your firm. The first 90 days are spent getting them up to speed and teaching the core values and the vision of the company.
- Employees do not quit their jobs, they quit working with certain bosses. If you see constant job hopping, there could be a story behind it, so it’s worth talking with the potential candidate.
- A good leader works arm in arm with their team. This means that they stay late with their team, keep their door open, and have a daily huddle with the team members.
- Money isn’t everything. You can give employees all the money they want, but they could still leave the company. That’s because a positive company culture and being held accountable are more important than money.
- Big law firms can offer more benefits, but they can’t offer the same feeling, essence, and energy of being seen and valued as a leader. You are responsible for the energy you bring in a room and the energy you leave in a room.
