Jake Bergstrom on improving employee retention: “We certainly have to evaluate performance and make sure they are compensated fairly, but the bigger part is communicating with each team member daily, making sure that they have what they need to be successful and spending time coaching them so that we understand them and what’s going on in their lives and help them get to the next level in their careers.”

Jake Bergstrom on offering a long-term career path: “We go through career pathing numerous times with team members throughout the year. We do progress checks in our one-on-one meetings and counsel our team on how to get to the next level.”
