FCM157: Creating A Thriving Work Environment That Your Team Craves with Pete Dupuis

Fitness Career Mastery Podcast

One of the biggest struggles that we have heard business owners share with us over the years is the issue of employee and instructor turnover. You may be someone who as experienced someone leaving and either starting something that directly competes with you, or joining a competitor. It’s maddening, and it can leave you wondering how to make those employees stay. However, too often, we see business owners turn to means like non-competes and other ways to trap their team members.

That’s why we decided to bring back a past guest to speak with us about how to create an environment that your team craves- and we think you might be surprised by some of the counterintuitive ways that he suggests that you accomplish this- one of them being that it’s essential that you recognize that it’s most likely that you’re not paying a high enough wage for them to consider their employment with you the pinnacle of the career, and you therefore need to adjust the way you think of your relationship with them.

We also discuss some other management and leadership hacks (each of them as counterintuitive and paradoxical as the last) which will help put you in a position where you’re creating a thriving work environment, and learning from mistakes as you continue to grow.
