Lydia Brewster works in her family business, but she’ll also be the first one to tell you that they don’t operate as a family, but rather as a team. This mindset has served her well and motivated her to come up with some unconventional yet extremely effective strategies for hiring and retaining some of the top technicians in the country.
Her success lies in her very pragmatic and “no nonsense” approach to vetting qualified candidates and her unwavering commitment to help her team to continuously improve their skills through regular training.
As the General Manager at Aqua Clear Water Systems, Lydia and her team work hard to deliver fresh, clean water to homeowners in Tennessee. She stops by to chat with us about her professional experience and how she interviews and onboards candidates for her company.
