15 Uncomfortable Truths Every Employer Should Read:

1. The worst time to offer someone a pay rise or a promotion, is when the notice has been handed in.

2. You don’t have a “work from home” issue, you have a trust problem.

3. People don’t just quit jobs, they quit bad managers.

4. Company culture is not bean bags, free beer, or a free subscription to a meditation app.

5. If your team doesn't feel comfortable to say “I don’t know” or “I disagree.” You have a lot of work to do.

6. If you’re not paying people what they are worth, others will.

7. Employees have 4X better engagement when receiving consistent feedback.

8. Micromanagement never means “hard work”, it means a lack of freedom.

9. If your entry-level job advert requires real work experience... then that is not an "entry-level" job. It is a normal job paying an entry-level salary to an experienced worker.

10. If the actions of the company leaders do not align with the values, any trust will be destroyed.

11. If you are sick, you need to go to a medical appointment or your child is sick… it should not count as annual leave.

12. When you look after your team, your team will look after your clients.

13. Never expect your new employees to “hit the ground running” if you aren’t providing a fantastic onboarding program.

14. The fastest way to kill company culture is to let bad behavior be tolerated and rewarded.

15. It will cost you considerably more to replace someone than it was to pay them what they were worth originally.
