Reddish on showing employees that they are valued: "We hold an associate appreciation lunch once a month, and as general manager, I am there to thank everybody for their contributions. It gives us a great way to communicate our plans and progress in a personal way to everybody.
"I hand out paychecks to be able to thank everybody for their contribution to our success. This keeps me in touch with all of our team members."
Reddish on changes in response to staff requests: "Within the past year, we updated uniforms and had direct input from the employees on which design we were going to go with. We also have a meeting once a month where we take ideas from the departments on things that need to be done, and we update progress on a weekly basis until the to-do list is done."
