average age of chick fil a employee
Apparently what they do works. Chick-fil-A is debt free and has $4.1 billion in sales. Pretty good considering the average age of their 71,000 employees is 19 years.The retention lesson? The average tenure in this fast food business for hourly employees is 2 years. Sixty-five percent of their franchise owners were former employees who returned to be a part of the business.That is pretty good retention.It has been my pleasure. had an opportunity to hear Andy Lorenzen, the Director of Talent Strategy and Systems for Chick-fil-A, speak at the SHRM-Atlanta meeting this week.
