How To Retain Top Talent While Prioritizing Their Quality Of Life

Marketing Podcast with Joe Mull

In this episode of the Duct Tape Marketing Podcast, I interview Joe Mull. He is the founder of the BossBetter Leadership Academy and hosts the popular BossBetter Now Podcast, which was recently named by SHRM as a “can’t miss show for leaders” along with podcasts from Brené Brown and Harvard Business Review.

He is the author of 3 books including his newly released Employalty: How to Ignite Commitment and Keep Top Talent in the New Age of Work, a framework for creating an employee experience that leads people to join a company, stay long term, and do a great job. This book will teach you how to attract and retain talent and turn ordinary people into devoted employees.

Key Takeaway:

Employalty emphasizes the idea of attracting and retaining top talent by creating a more humane employee experience that focuses on their quality of life. The goal is to create an environment that recognizes employees’ individual needs and allows for a better work-life balance. Companies should become a destination workplace and for this, they should win in three areas of the employee experience: an ideal job, meaningful work, and becoming a great boss.

Questions I ask Joe Mull:

• [01:55] What were you hoping to add to the topics of hiring and quitting with this book?
• [04:00] Employalty sounds about employee loyalty, but that’s not what it is. What is Employalty?
• [04:55] Gen Z wants different things in work, can you explain the “myth of lazy”?
• [07:31] How do leaders and business owners turn their company into what you call a Destination Workplace?
• [11:52] You say that every employee in every company has an internal scorecard that determines whether they stay long-term and commit to their work. Please explain that idea.
• [12:58] Can you elaborate on the phrase: “the era of hiring the best person for the job is over”.
• [18:08] Where do diversity, equity, and inclusion, you know, initiatives fit into the idea of Employalty?
• [20:09] Where’s AI going to fit in the destination workplace?
