Hiring and retaining great employees isn’t just about pay—it’s about strategy. Steve Van Remortel shares how small and midsize businesses can finally solve their talent challenges with My Talent Planner.
The hiring struggle is real, but what if the issue isn’t a lack of talent—it’s a lack of strategy? We talk with Steve Van Remortel, founder of My Talent Planner, to break down what businesses get wrong when it comes to recruitment, retention, and engagement.
Steve's background in manufacturing led him to develop a system that helps leaders create real talent strategies, not just quick fixes. From one-on-ones that actually work to understanding what motivates employees across generations, his approach is designed to take businesses from constant turnover to long-term success.
We get into why traditional hiring methods don’t work anymore, how businesses can keep their best employees, and the key differences between motivating Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z in today’s workplace. If you think “there are no good employees out there,” you might just be looking in the wrong place.
Episode Highlights:
- Why hiring struggles are often self-inflicted
- How one company cut turnover from 40% to single digits
- The power of one-on-ones in blue-collar industries
- How generational differences impact employee motivation
- Why total-person development is key for retention
- The role of AI in talent management
