[QUOTE="rainy, post: 1567375, member: 6061"] Foremen in this industry don’t like moving around. Very different than white collar environments. Those tenures look excellent. What we did was sit down with all foremen, assure their continued employment and then offered an open forum of ideas for improvements and future investments to help them do their job. The previous owner never did this and it gave a real positive impression and they felt they had a voice and we were now invested in them. Getting a crew a 36” replacement mower or a couple new backpack blowers after they express concern goes a long way. Every winter we also throw a pizza party or BBQ and let the foremen tell us what’s going well and where we can improve. [/QUOTE]
