When you support them to grow their skills and knowledge, they can better take care of customers. · Leaders have to show up with more empathy and understanding. If you want your people to stick around, you must make them feel appreciated. · If every person in a leadership position would make it a point to get to know their employees better, that would be a huge step in keeping your employees. · Listen to your people in a way that you never have before. Model what excellent customer service is, give them confidence by creating opportunities to increase their skills, provide them with agency so that they're empowered to help the customer, and create a culture where they feel safe.
