Are you struggling to keep your star players in your law firm? In today’s episode Michael Urbina emphasizes the importance of keeping your firm's star players by intentionally working through a few things with them.
Such as:
- Building genuine relationships with employees to creating a positive work environment
- Working with your employees to see what makes them the most productive
- Finding out what motivates your star employees. What are their goals?
What about involving employees in key decisions and providing them with a sense of control over their work-life balance? Firms could be open to alternative work arrangements, such as a four-day workweek or flexible hours, to accommodate their employees' needs. By doing so, employees feel like they are a part of the firm and are more likely to buy into its vision.
