Finding & Fielding a Winning Team
Live Virtual Event with Recordings Available

 

Thursday, January 26, 2023

It doesn't matter how much work you sell if you don't have a team to do it.

In recent years, landscaping companies’ biggest challenge has shifted from finding work to finding the team members they need to do it. While there isn’t a single silver bullet, there are a number of ways companies can be smarter in how they recruit and intentionally retain their team members. In this virtual event, Marty Grunder, President & CEO of Grunder Landscaping Co., and Vince Torchia, vice president and trusted executive coach at The Grow Group, will share how companies can kick their recruiting efforts into high gear and lay the groundwork for a well-staffed 2022.

While Marty’s been in the trenches on this issue in his 38 years leading GLC, Vince has been working with teams across the country coaching them through their team challenges. In this virtual event, they will share how companies can:

  • Build a supportive company culture where people want to work.

  • Identify your ideal team member, and find more team members like them.

  • Stand out from the companies you compete with for employees.

  • Provide opportunities for growth to retain ambitious team members through ongoing training, defined career paths, and goal setting programs.

Start now to build the team you'll need when the busy season starts.

Agenda


11 A.M.–12 P.M. ET

Retaining a Winning Team
It’s difficult to succeed if you’re starting over with a new team each week. Happy, supported teams help businesses run smoothly, and are the greatest asset to your landscaping business. In this session, Marty and Vince will share the strategies, programs, and tactics they recommend companies use to improve team member retention.


1–2 P.M. ET

Recruiting a Winning Team
A good hire can help you get ahead, while a bad hire can undermine your success so far. In this session, Marty and Vince will share the qualities of GLC’s ideal team member, how they find more candidates for open positions, and what tactics they use to help new team members through the first week of work.


2:15–3:15 P.M. ET

Building Your “People” Plan
At The Grow Group, we believe that successful businesses are built on 4 pillars—platform, process, people, and profit. This workshop session will help you to define your plan for effectively managing your people, and you’ll leave with an idea of what next steps to take to start improving your recruiting and retaining efforts this week.
