Most companies focus on hiring the right people—but what happens after that? A strong onboarding process doesn’t just introduce employees to their role—it sets them up for long-term success. Without structured training and progress tracking, new hires can quickly feel lost, disengaged, or unprepared for real-world challenges. That’s where Lever 360 comes in. More than just a digital training platform, it’s designed to ensure every employee gains the knowledge, skills, and confidence they need to succeed in the restoration industry. It’s about building expertise, not just checking a box. Lisa Lavender knows firsthand how proper training changes careers. Now, she’s helping others take control of their learning, track their progress, and apply their skills where it matters most. ?? How do you ensure your employees get the training they need to thrive?

Your onboarding process might be failing—and you won’t know until it’s too late. Ever had a well-vetted, promising new hire leave within their first week? It happens more often than we realize, and when it does, it’s a wake-up call. That’s actually what inspired our upcoming webinar, "Turn Your Onboarding into WOWboarding"—after we lost a great candidate almost immediately. One of the biggest mistakes in onboarding? Not checking in enough. Instead of waiting until there’s a problem, frequent check-ins give us time to adjust, support new hires, and make onboarding an ongoing conversation rather than a one-time event. If you really want to measure onboarding success, don’t just look at the first week. Track retention at 30 days, one year, even five years. That’s where you’ll find the truth. And if you’re ready to transform your onboarding process, join us next Wednesday for our most popular webinar, "How to Turn Onboarding into WOWboarding.” Register now.

Gratitude isn’t just about saying “thank you”—it’s a leadership strategy that drives business success. Gratitude can strengthen culture, improve relationships, and fuel success. Companies with strong cultures of appreciation see: ?? Higher employee engagement & retention. ?? Stronger customer & referral relationships. ?? More resilient teams that navigate challenges effectively. But here’s the problem: Many leaders assume gratitude is implied rather than expressed—and that’s where businesses fall short. A simple thank-you, when genuine and consistent, fosters trust, motivation, and long-term loyalty. In our latest carousel, we explore how to embed gratitude into your business strategy and turn it into a growth driver. Swipe through, save this post, and start making gratitude a leadership habit!

One of the biggest hiring mistakes happens right AFTER you make the hire. You bring in a new employee, maybe even have a job description ready, but without a structured onboarding process, they’re left feeling lost. A new hire’s first 30 days should be about: ? Camaraderie & connection with their team ? Clarity on their role, responsibilities, and training path ? Support to build confidence—even before they know everything ? Immediate access to health, safety, and compliance training When onboarding is done right, you’re not just filling a position—you’re setting someone up for success in your company and in this industry. ?? What’s the biggest hiring mistake you’ve seen or experienced? Drop it in the comments! Let’s learn from each other. #EmployeeRetention #RestorationIndustry #LeadershipDevelopment #RTILearning
