As you grow it and expand geographically, it takes more time and effort, but the benefits can be tremendous. I often say to employees that if you don't work out here, our system will weed you out, because our people really believe in our culture of teamwork and that everyone contributes to the success of the company. If someone's not doing their job or, more importantly, they don't have the principles of our culture, they often don't make it. If employees recognize that a person doesn't share our company's principles, that person never lasts, and it happens very quickly. We find we have very high turnover in the first six months, but after that, almost none.
Partnerships are like marriages.
You have to find companies that share your values. As Philip says, you have to make your company a place where people want to work. We have absolutely no problem attracting good people, because we have a very strong corporate culture that's concerned with the needs of the employees and gives them an opportunity to progress. For example, we recently had a dispatch position open. Short term, it's much easier for me to go and hire someone.
