​The Challenge

​In early 2018, the fast-food industry reached record employee turnover with an average rate of 150%, the highest since researchers began recording data in 1995. Despite the fact that they were experiencing higher than average industry retention, Franchise Owners of this US National Fast Food Restaurant Chain desired the ability to attract, grow and retain talent.
 

“I, as the leader, have to create an environment in which employees actually want to pursue our purpose.” – Leading Restaurant Owner 

On average, these Owners are running businesses that are growing in double digits amidst an industry known for strong competition, waning customer loyalty, and intense regulatory scrutiny. To overcome operational capacity challenges triggered by high growth, Owners knew that without a successful solution to high turnover, the rapidly evolving talent market could be their ultimate disruptor.

The Approach
