It’s not easy being an employee these days. Just when COVID appeared to be abating, fresh economic challenges, such as inflation, weakening demand, and supply chain issues, are triggering layoffs, salary cuts, and benefit reductions in virtually every industry. Even those who have not been personally affected must contend with an uncertain economic future, and the fear and stress that such uncertainty breeds. Little wonder that employee morale is at an all-time low. Business owners may know that low employee morale translates into deteriorating productivity and, ultimately, reduced revenue. But what can today’s business owner do to re-energize his or her team while protecting the company’s long-term value? And how can those businesses looking to hire attract and motivate new talent?
Topics for this complimentary seminar will include:
What different generations of employees want
Navigating the hybrid in-office/work from home model
Benefits that improve quality of life
Creating job security with employment agreements
Use of performance and liquidity bonuses
Giving employees “ownership” without giving up equity
Making employees owners – stock options and grants
Ownership without the tax bill – the LLC profits interest
