Pay people. Stop threatening people who try to leave and better their situations. Stop over burdening employees due to leadership's poor planning
Pay closer to market rate. Put formal career planning in place. Stop threatening people who leave to try to get paid closer to market rate.
A culture of fear had made the environment incredibly stressful. Need to get back to the culture of mentoring and experimentation that used to make it a vibrant place to work.
I met with the company owners. It gave things a real, average, down to earth feel. Owners are no longer on site and I beige that is a big part of the company's culture decline.
Make decisions based on feedback from the team rather than "gut feeling." Implement market driven research rather than reacting to client whim. Pay your employees. Stop being petty when people leave. Research and plan projects before diving in and then abandoning them due to lack of upfront research
