Child Care Rockstar Radio: Creating a Win Out of the Great Resignation

Creating a Win Out of the Great Resignation

Oct 21, 2021

The Child Care Success Summit in Las Vegas just wrapped up, and there was so much love, support, and fun! On this week’s solo episode, Kris shares three takeaways from the Summit, from leaders and keynote speakers Marshall Goldsmith, Stedman Graham, and Andre Norman. Kris also discusses The Great Resignation, along with just how many people in almost every industry are leaving to find different work, and what we can learn from it when it comes to new ways of staffing to bring in and keep the right staff. Kris talks about things you can do to inspire your staff, how to really listen when they give you feedback on how to be better, and why you should dare to be dangerous.

Key Takeaways:

[2:51] The Great Resignation is a term reflective of the record number of people quitting their jobs and looking for something different. The pandemic resulted in many employees looking at what they value, and shifting their work to find something more meaningful, possibly with more benefits, better wages, or more freedom.

[3:03] Kris shares shocking statistics regarding how many people have left the workforce since the COVID pandemic began, which industries were the hardest hit from it, and what the top reasons were behind those people leaving their positions.

[6:11] Kris explains the mindset shift that workers are having across all industries as a result of the pandemic.

[6:43] Kris shares a feel-good reason why those working in the early child care industry are so unique.

[12:06] Kris provides a few questions for us to reflect on in the upcoming weeks as we continue to look for A-player talent to join our teams and work to keep our current staff happy.

[12:40] Kris shares the three biggest takeaways from the keynote speakers that spoke on stage during this year's Child Care Success Summit; one from Marshall Goldsmith, one from Stedman Graham, and one from Andre Norman.

[20:01] Kris shoutouts and congratulates this year's Child Care Rockstar that was awarded the prestigious honor on stage earlier this month in Las Vegas in front of the Summit audience.
