Change the way you run your business
“A few years ago I decided that I didn’t want to lose any more staff members. I redeveloped the culture of my business, becoming a really solid employee-first company. To support our team, we have an individual development programme for each chef. We pay well above the usual rate to make them feel their work is valued and we give seven weeks paid holiday a year, which offers flexibility for those who need it.
It's not what it’s costing you, it’s what you buy - and that’s loyalty, better engaged staff and investment emotionally in your team. Since making these changes, we haven’t lost any staff members in over two years.”
