Stars of the Business World Were Out at the Inc. 5000 Vision Conference

ASNF

A host of celebrity entrepreneurs came out at the Inc. 5000 Vision Conference on Wednesday. The day’s sessions featured insights from a Shark, a tennis legend, and a DTC pioneer, among many others. Here are a few of the highlights.

1. In a Main Stage interview, Maria Sharapova admitted that when she co-founded high-end candy business Sugarpova in 2012, she had no idea what she was getting into. Now, the five-time Grand Slam singles winner–who retired from professional tennis in February–runs her company full-time, and has drawn lessons from her athletic career to become an effective CEO. For example: Her ability to lead a team, she said, came directly from her years of working through high-pressure situations with coaches, trainers, and support staff–and learning to prioritize balanced schedules and frequent off-days to avoid burnout. “Don’t overdo it,” she said. “I know that’s one of those suggestions that seems so difficult

8 Effective Employee Retention Strategies

ASNF

Hiring top talent is only the start to creating an outstanding workforce. The next step — and just as vital — is keeping them around. Let’s dive into employee retention: your company’s ability to maintain a work environment that supports staff in remaining with you.

Employee turnover is often a symptom of deeper unresolved issues, such as low employee morale, unclear career development options, lack of recognition, or poor employee-manager relationships. In addition to lost productivity, employee exits also hurt your bottom line.

One analysis found that businesses spend about one-fifth of an employee’s annual salary to replace that worker. Costs come in the form of recruiting and training, as well as institutional knowledge.
