HELPING YOUR CLIENTS WITH 3 PERSISTENT PEOPLE PROBLEMS: RETENTION, RECRUITMENT, REMOTE EMPLOYEES

EPI SAN FRANCISCO CHAPTER

Businesses today experience numerous challenges as a result of economic conditions, changing government policies, and rapid technological development. But three core human management issues are consistently coming to the surface as major obstacles to leading a successful organization: high turnover rates, difficulties in recruiting new team members, and the complexities of managing remote and hybrid employees. Learn about a common issue underlying these challenges to help your clients by using tools and resources that have demonstrated success in creating healthy, effective workplace cultures.

Learning Objectives:

As a result of participating in the session, attendees will be able to:

  • Identify the core issue underlying the challenges with employee retention, recruitment, and managing remote (and hybrid) team members.
  • Describe the differences between employee recognition and authentic appreciation and relate the negative results that occur when team members don't feel truly valued.
  • Delineate the core components necessary for team members to truly feel valued and summarize the 5 languages of appreciation, giving examples of what they look like in daily work life.
  • Access tools and resources that can be used immediately to “hit the mark” in effectively communicating appreciation to colleagues, both for on-site and remote employees.

Who Should Attend?

  • Attorneys

    You have close relationships with clients, and can benefit from being the first advisor to introduce the idea of exit planning.

  • CPAs/Accountants

    Owners participating in the State of Owner Readiness research continue to indicate that you are the No. 1 "Most Trusted Advisor." You are a natural fit to lead the exit planning team and deepen your relationship (and retention) of next generation owners.

  • Financial Advisors

    One of the critical ‘legs of the stool’ is personal financing planning. An owner must have a strong financial plan & contingency plan post-transition to enable them to thrive in the next act of the lives personally and financially. Exit planning brings this future mindset into the present. Exit is now.

  • Wealth Managers

    You’re a skilled relationship person. Being entangled into your clients’ professional lives matters as you build a strategy to manage their wealth upon them harvesting it from their business. Exit planning allows you to build a deeper relationship with your client, expands your COI network, while giving you an early seat at table well before the liquidity event.

  • Valuation Analysts

    Valuation is both a billable engagement AND an opportunity to provide owners some perspective on how to accelerate value drivers (and deal with value killers). Use exit planning to make that valuation into a longer term value acceleration engagement.

  • Investment Bankers

    Only 2 of every 10 businesses that come to market actually sell. Learn how exit planning can bring attractive AND ready business to your purview.

  • Estate Planners

    Exit planning is a natural fit for estate planners who want to operate more holistically with their owner clients.

  • Strategic Consultants

    One of the most critical roles in exit planning is building transferable value. Strategic consultants have the ability to expand options and drive rapid business value that affect performance today.

  • Insurance Professionals

    Exit planning addresses the 5 D's. So do you. Approach the risk conversation differently with exit planning.

  • Mergers & Acquisition Advisors

    Proper exit planning causes less deals to fall through at the last minute. Connect with CEPAs to build your healthy deal flow network.

  • Commercial Lenders

    One of the best relationships a business owner makes is with their banker. How can you help your corporate clients think about the future and ensure financial continuity? Answer: exit planning.
