I N D ERetention X Employee Program
constitute a strong employee retention program.
Hiring and training new employees have always been a cumbersome and financially costly process. Today’s low unemployment rates make recruiting even more competitive, and therefore even higher in costs. To avoid the hiring process as much as possible, first, evaluate your efforts to retain current employees. If you don’t have one, start a comprehensive employee retention program. Begin launching initiatives to establish the practices listed below, to make encouraging, inspiring, pro-retention practices the core of your business management system. Or, to help further reduce your turnover costs, incorporate any practices discussed below, as necessary to complete your existing employee retention program:
Evaluating Your Employee Retention Practices
Recruiting
Companies with lower turnover rates tend to invest in their employees. They do more to provide a physical and cultural environment in the workplace that is more conducive to the sense of security and satisfaction that leads to long-term employment. To figure out what issues might be resulting in premature departures from your team:
The recruiting and hiring process is time-intensive. Recruiting through local (temporary, permanent, or temp-to-perm) employment agencies allows small to medium-sized portable restroom rental businesses to outsource the burdensome process. This includes employment marketing, interviewing, background checks, drug screening, various skills testing, reference checking, wage negotiation, and even the initial onboarding, in terms of tax and other legal documentation. From field services technicians to top management candidates, highly skilled professionals at employment agencies can take a big load off.
the US express a deep understanding of the need to provide good workplaces for employees and build strong team bonds. Yet, despite their best ef for ts, too many companies from coast to coast operate in a perpetual struggle to hire and keep good employees. As much as they strive to screen job candidates well, provide the best possible working conditions, and compensate workers competitively, they can’t seem to break the costly cycle of excessive staf f turnover. To help in your ef for ts to reduce turnover, below is a list of practices which, all together,
✔Identify retention practices you have not yet begun using, and start the needed implementations.
✔Evaluate the quality of management of retention practices already implemented, and start needed improvements.

Onboarding The cumbersome onboarding process naturally negatively impacts productivity and quality. Current employees have to work harder to compensate for the short staffing. Value-added efforts they may normally make for customers or coworkers are not possible to sustain during demanding periods of turnover. Error rates increase during periods when new employees are learning on the job. When this highly disruptive process occurs with extreme frequency, it takes a toll on team morale and productivity. Fine-tune your onboarding process, by assembling a well-organized document package for new hires, including tax documents, written policies, a thorough Employee Handbook, safety training materials, and job training introduction materials.
Clear statements of the business’s mission and vision allows the new employment candidate to understand what company management and employees at all levels hold as the team’s driving principles.
Employee Handbook
Company Mission and Vision
A thorough official company handbook enables every new employee to start their new job with confidence in their knowledge of general company policies and protocols on things like overtime, attendance policy, accident investigations procedures, protocols for filing complaints, emergency protocols, requesting a leave of absence, and many other essential explanations. Provide a clear outline for general new hire orientation training, including a timeline for completion. Validate each employee’s full understanding of each training topic and document completion.
Clear statements of the business’s mission and vision allows the new employment candidate to understand what company management and employees at all levels hold as the team’s driving principles. Discuss these statements with every new hire, and help them see how their role in the enterprise contributes importantly to what the company is trying to accomplish.
Employee Benefits Offering vacation, health, retirement and other benefits can certainly make your employment package much more appealing continued on page 10

Physical Work Environment Make modifications to your business’s physical work facilities, as needed, to provide a workplace that inspires employees’ confidence in their place of employment as a stable, supportive workplace. Keep equipment and tools properly functioning, keep all workspaces, meeting and break areas, and restrooms, etc., clean, organized and well-stocked. Keep all required signage properly posted. Keep all safety equipment and first-aid supplies accessible. Having a reliable physical working environment enables workers to view their jobs as being of a stronger value in the employment market.

Encouraging Employees’ Ideas
A S S O C I AT I O N N E W S
Set team and individual goals that are appropriately ambitious, but achievable. Create benchmarks for quality and milestones for progress, and use those to measure individuals’ and team accomplishments. Monitor and discuss progress and problems, and adjust plans and timelines, as needed, for remaining work in IN THE NEWS projects.
Ask for employees’ ideas for process improvements and other changes they think may need to be made. Discuss the ideas. Adopt them when they’re the most practical for the business. Involve the whole team in helping make certain decisions, when it’s helpful to do so. Above all, listen to people. Hear their feedback. Knowing one’s input is valued can contribute in a very powerful way to one’s sense of self-confidence and courage to engage in A S S O C I AT I O N I N S I D E R creative problem solving on the job.
Performance Pride
Feedback and Formal Reviews
It’s a rare business owner in the portable restroom industry who needs to be told to be more committed to product or service quality. Owners all know very well that those are the core professional values that make or break them in their commercial and consumer markets. What some may not have considered, SPOTLIGHT however, is the effects of that commitment to quality on employee retention. When recognizes employees who demonstrate performance pride reflective of their own, it makes people feel like they’re a part of something they can feel great about, and it makes them feel appreciated and more secure in their choice of employment.
Routine feedback and as-needed coaching are key to continuously improving individual and overall team performance. Formal reviews should be consistently fair and thorough and should highlight both the recognition of good aspects of performance and opportunities for improvement. Reviews should include goal INDEX setting for upcoming periods and timelines, as well as plans for completing any training or assignments for skill-building. Knowing exactly where they stand encourages employees.
Shared Goals
Employee Development
If you’re treating one employee this way, you need to treat all other employees the same way. This helps with keeping employees because they’re not seeing that other employees are getting better treatment than they are getting. Show workers that you’re consistent in the way you treat everyone in the workplace. Help them see that you’re fair with everyone equally because you value every person in the company.
Identify employees who have potential for advancement, and help them access the information on resources they need for development. Maybe they need to go back to school and get a degree or certificate, or get training through a trade school, or attend tradeshow teaching sessions, or build additional skills on the job, work with a mentor in the company. Current employees have proven they appreciate the company. Talented employees already know the business, so they can learn new roles more quickly than newcomers, with much less loss of productivity and a negative impact on quality during training.
Expressing Appreciation
Empowering Employees
Recognize employees who exceed expectations. Having employee appreciation events goes a long way in helping build company loyalty and trust. Let them know you appreciate the great work they do, and the sacrifices they may sometimes make of time they would rather be spending with their families. For examples of ways to express appreciation, annual company picnics are always popular, periodic catered lunch meetings have also become a tradition in many workplaces, and some companies have awards ceremonies to acknowledge the high performance of individuals and teams.
Learn how to let go of some responsibilities. Delegate to capable employees. Freeing yourself from enough tasks that others can do allows you to redirect valuable time and energy to higher-value ownership-level activities like selling, customer relations, quality initiatives, planning and executing on growth strategies, etc. Start with delegating minor purchasing, decisions, and systems and process oversight.

The above are all important components of a comprehensive employee retention program, which every business needs to minimize employee attrition rates and keep turnover costs under control. Keep in mind that turnover rates tend to align with employees’ collective and individual responses to their employer’s level of success in areas of their employee retention efforts discussed above. In other words, increasing the numbers and strength of the above reasons employees have to stay with an employer tends to increase the employer’s retention rates. As you can see, there are a lot of elements and aspects in a comprehensive program, so your employee retention program needs to be mapped onto your entire operational model. Bottom line — invest in your employees. Go down the above comprehensive list of policy, activity, spending, and behavioral components of a successful employee retention program. Identify all those you’re already successfully maintaining. See what remains for you to do, to provide talented employees with what they need and rightly want in a job. Then, just strive to give them as much of that as possible.

GENERAL COMPACT JM-1000 MINI-JET™ NOW AVAILABLE WITH STAINLESS STEEL BRAID HOSE; NDEX S P O TDRAIN L I G H T CLEANING POWER & IPERFORMANCE!

General’s tough stainless-steel braid hose design smoothly slides the jet nozzle down 1-1/2” to 3” drain lines – and more easily navigates tight bends. The 3/16” Teflon core also reduces flow resistance, further improving small line cleaning power.

And a variety of accessories, like an optional spray wand, are available.

COXREELS® SAFETY TO THE NEXT LEVEL D E X asset-backed S P O T L I G Hequipment T Charlotte-based finance company closesI N eleventh security transaction, bringing total offerings to nearly $2.5 billion.
Safety is the first and foremost consideration in business today. Slips, trips and falls constitute the majority of general industry accidents, which cause 15% of all accidental deaths. Coxreels is excited to announce the new addition to our safety line: High-Visibility Safety Hose Reels. Power up your safety with high visibility hose by Coxreels. When not in use your hose and cable is safely retracted on your Coxreels reel, but when in use the hose can become a hazard. With the addition of high visibility hose to your hose reel, awareness and visibility are increased to create the safest environment possible.
TACKLE THE TOUGHEST JOBS WITH QUALITY YOU CAN TRUST!
Featured on P, SH, and T series, Hi-Vis hose is hybrid bright yellow hose with a white glossy stripe available in ⁄" and ½". Hybrid hoses (PVC + Rubber blend) offer similar performance to rubber with the weight of PVC, combining positive features of both hose types. They have increased hose flexibility and better low temperature behavior while maintaining strength and toughness. With enhanced kink resistance and reduced coil memory, they lay flat for a reduced trip hazard potential. Hybrid hoses also feature a less sticky jacket surface than PVC for better stacking performance and an improved non-marring quality. With a working pressure of 300PSI, this hose is perfect to be used in applications involving air and water. Adding EZ-Coil® controlled retraction and Hi-Vis hose

Equipment There are 5 trucks total used to handle both the septic and portable toilets, with 3 on the porta-potty side and 2 on the septic side. There are also cleaning supplies and dyes which need to be dealt with carefully, so Ms. Plyler says the best advice for anyone thinking of working personally in the field is to be careful. There is a great need for septic services and porta-potties, and Brogerro’s is constantly busy, helping out at regular sites and at all of the local big events, including parades. Well trusted in the area, Bogerro’s handles 400 porta-potties every week, not counting the extra special events every weekend. Bogerro’s can get their equipment everywhere, even hardto-reach sites like high-rise buildings. ANSI standards call for one portable toilet per 10 workers for a 40-hour workweek, so many businesses need more help than they realize. Bogerro’s also has special sinks that multiple people can use at once. There are also special VIP units just for those upscale events where a regular unit wouldn’t look good The Best Part of Working at Bogerro’s According to Manager Amanda Plyler, the best part of working at Bogerro’s is getting to see the other employees every day. Not just a well-coordinated team, they act as a family, celebrating holidays and handling one job after another together, not forcing one employee to take up the slack or doing more than their fair share. Ms. Plyler says that her job is to coordinate services and
or offer the right comfort and convenience, and Brogerro’s offers special features in those like sanitary hands-free flushing and a hidden waste tank, so it looks like a regular toilet as much as possible.

GFL ENVIRONMENTAL INC.
SERVING CANADA & 23 U.S. STATES Ordinarily, we like to cover smaller, local-level companies, describe their rise to solvency and get into some of the details that make their stories interesting. It’s not often that a large company can strike a similar chord, struggling to grow, offering a respectable value proposition not only to customers but to a community- while achieving successes that warm the heart. But Green For Life (GFL) USA, a Canadian based company that has expanded into the Northern United States, fits the bill.
