Companies Recognize the Power of Comprehensive Benefits in Attracting and Retaining Top Talent

Paul Zboichyk2024-04-11T21:13:47-04:00April 11th, 2024|Tags: business services, Express Employment Professionals, professional education, staffing solutions|

However, Offering All Desired Benefits Impossible

Latest Results from The Harris Poll

OKLAHOMA CITY — Offering all the benefits employees want is seemingly impossible, according to a recent Express Employment Professionals-Harris Poll survey. However, companies appear tuned in to the advantages benefits may provide — including attracting and retaining employees, as well as potentially easing turnover rates.

Nearly half of U.S. hiring managers (48%) report more employees at their company have asked for better benefits this year, compared to last year, because of an increase in the cost of living. But delivering on this expectation may not be possible for all. Two-thirds feel it’s impossible to offer all the benefits employees want now (66%).

While half of hiring managers (50%) anticipate their company’s traditional benefits will remain the same next year, it appears some companies are trying to meet the demands. More than 2 in 5 (42%) report their company plans to increase benefits in 2024 — up from the second half of 2022, where 37% planned to increased benefits in 2023.

Seventy percent of hiring managers say their company has modified benefits specifically in the hopes of retaining current employees or attracting new ones.

Around 3 in 10 report they have offered cost of living raises (31%) and/or increased the amount of paid time off offered to employees (27%). Others say their company has offered customizable benefits packages (21%), offered additional healthcare incentives such as a gym membership or mental health resources (21%) and/or increased the amount of sick leave available (21%).

These modifications may even help to alleviate turnover, as better benefits and perks being offered at other companies are thought to be contributing to employees’ desire to look elsewhere for employment.

Reducing Benefits

As the labor market has softened and employment costs have soared, Express experts across the country said clients are pulling back on the generous benefits that were extended not too long ago.

“Clients have stepped back from attendance awards, retention bonuses and even referral bonuses,” said Nancy Reed, Express franchise owner in Texas. “They don’t think they need to be offering so many bonuses now that there are more people available seeking employment.”

Companies were forced to be creative with retention efforts coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic due to record unemployment, and Express franchise owner Alyssa Chumbley in Indiana cites examples such as an onsite meal service, 30-minute arrival grace windows, shorter shifts and money for “shout-out” appreciation gift cards given between coworkers.

“The creativity of benefit options has dwindled, and the extension of offerings are less abundant,” Chumbley said. “However, flexibility in screening and onboarding, in addition to schedule flexibility once hired, continues to be apparent in order to retain employees.”

Despite the availability of more workers in the current labor pool, continuing to shape a healthy company culture should be top of mind for business owners to avoid affecting the bottom line.

“Turnover can cost as much as up to 150% of the departing employee’s salary, not to mention the strain on the remaining staff,” said Bill Stoller, Express Employment International CEO. “It’s not feasible to offer every desired benefit but choose the ones that resonate the most with your workforce. Investing in people is what makes them stay.”

Survey Methodology
The Job Insights survey was conducted online within the United States by The Harris Poll on behalf of Express Employment Professionals between Oct. 31 and Nov. 10, 2023, among 1,007 U.S. hiring decision-makers.

Rolling Suds Taps Industry Expert J.T. Thiessen as Chief Development Officer, Sparks Partnership for Top-Secret Project

Paul Zboichyk2024-04-11T21:07:36-04:00April 11th, 2024|Tags: power washing franchise, Professional Wash Method, residential and commercial customers, Rolling Suds|

Leading Residential + Commercial Power Washing Franchise Appoints Franchise Veteran Ahead of Top-Secret Project

PHILADELPHIA — Rolling Suds, a leader in residential and commercial power washing for 30-plus years, announces the appointment of Jonathan (J.T.) Thiessen to Chief Development Officer. While this news marks the brand’s first Chief Development Officer, it also represents a significant milestone in what promises to be a groundbreaking partnership between Thiessen and Rolling Suds’ CEO and Owner, Aaron Harper.

Harper and Thiessen have been working towards this partnership for years, both wanting to come together and positively impact the franchising landscape. While specific details regarding the partnership between the two industry leaders remain confidential, the eagerly anticipated project is already in progress, and the new business partners are slated to unveil further details during Q4 of this year.

J.T. Thiessen has been a significant figure in the franchise industry for over 20 years in several capacities, from Director of Franchise Development to Vice President of Franchise Licensing to his most recent position as Chief Development Officer at Home Franchise Concepts. After garnering a variety of opportunities due to his impressive reputation and extensive experience in the industry, Thiessen decided to join forces with Harper to spearhead a new top-secret project that the two have been conceptualizing for quite some time, dedicated to promoting Responsible Franchising. While the two work to execute this exciting project, Thiessen will serve as Chief Development Officer at Rolling Suds.

“I’m thrilled to finally be joining forces with Aaron to lead a transformative journey for the franchise industry,” said Thiessen. “Together, we are not just embracing change; we’re shaping it. Our new project embodies our shared vision of empowerment, resilience, and forward-thinking entrepreneurship. With a steadfast commitment to our ideals and a passion for innovation, we look forward to executing a project that goes beyond Rolling Suds and leaves a lasting impact on the franchising landscape and its future.”

An advocate for Responsible Franchising, Harper has led Rolling Suds to rapid, yet sustainable growth in recent years. His guidelines for Responsible Franchising, which will be the core of his and Thiessen’s new project, are to set clear expectations, ensure capital adequacy, choose the right franchisees and prioritize a sustainable growth strategy.

“At Rolling Suds, we’ve always been committed to excellence – in our services, our relationships, and our franchise opportunities,” said Harper. “This partnership with J.T. has been a long time coming, and we’re poised to take that commitment to the next level through our newest project. Together, we will continue to lead the industry with innovation, integrity, and unwavering dedication.”

Rolling Suds is a proven business backed by more than 30-years of industry experience and knowledge. One of its key differentiators is the quality and process of the service itself, and ability to complete jobs two to three times more quickly. Rolling Suds has a proprietary cleaning process which utilizes high-quality materials and a specific dilution of soaps within their wash method. With state-of-the-art equipment and highly trained professionals, Rolling Suds is a sustainable business with the ability to invest back into itself.

The Rolling Suds brand and franchise is built on three core elements – relationships, reputation and reliability – and each are applicable to both consumers and franchisees. Having unparalleled experience in such an unregulated industry, Rolling Suds franchisees will be able to differentiate themselves from competitors through a recession-resistant business model. The business support that franchisees receive is immense, including a nine-week interactive power launch training program, one week in person training, six months of lead generation, digital and marketing needs handled, technician training, among many other essential business aspects are provided. It’s truly a complete business in a box.

Local Entrepreneur Brings Light to Naples Community with New Blingle! Franchise

This is The Brand’s Fifth Location in Florida

NAPLES, Fla. — Blingle!, the premier outdoor lighting franchise, announced today its newest location in Naples, Fla., their fifth in the Sunshine state, that is owned and operated by Cheryl Alker. The Greater Naples team opened its doors earlier this winter and is already experiencing high demand.

An entrepreneur since she turned 21-years-old, Alker, a native of the United Kingdom (UK), spent the vast majority of her career in the health and wellness industry, working directly with consumers and managing a team of wellness professionals. Her work continued when she moved with her husband and two children to the states 20 years ago.

Having taken some time to give back by volunteering for a dog rescue charity over recent years, Alker realized she was not ready to retire, in fact quite the opposite, she was ready for a new adventure that would harness her years of experience as a business owner and her deep-rooted design and home improvement passion.

Like many, Alker noticed that in many cases attention to detail was lacking in the service industry and she felt ready to bring her “customer first” mentality to a local business. She believes in clear communication, arriving at the scheduled time, finishing a project in a timely manner and always surpassing the customers’ expectations.

“When doing research, I came across Blingle! and saw it as a brand that I could really getting immersed in,” said Alker. “The lighting industry as a whole is very uplifting, be it holiday, landscape or the amazing technology of permanent, it is not a need but a want. This is a joyful purchase that brings happiness to clients. I am looking forward to bringing my eye to detail and design flair to customers and literally lighting up the Greater Naples community.”

Having moved from the UK many years ago, Alker is no stranger to the hard work and perseverance of starting something new, and together with her talented team, she is ready to grow Blingle! with the same mindset and make an impact. Alker will serve the Greater Naples area, working from Fort Myers Beach and Sanibel Island all the way down to Marco Island.

“We are excited to welcome Cheryl to the Blingle! family,” Josh Skolnick, Founder of HorsePower Brands said. “To be able to bring the premier products and service that we have to offer to the Greater Naples community is a great opportunity.”

Offering the Best Care for Your Furry Best Friend, Dogtopia of Jacksonville Beach Blvd is Now Open

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Dogtopia of Jacksonville Beach Boulevard, part of the nation’s leading dog wellness franchise, has recently reopened under new ownership. Located at 11300 Beach Blvd., Dogtopia of Jacksonville Beach Boulevard provides award-winning services to dog parents in the community.

With extensive business experience between them – Barbara, a former business owner, and Peggy, a CEO of a hospital company – they are well-equipped to run this Dogtopia as a state-of-the-art dog daycare facility in the area.

“After our dog passed away in June, my partner Peggy and I were considering getting a new dog, but what better way to cure that puppy craving than being surrounded by dogs every day,” said Barbara. “We are very excited to re-establish this Dogtopia location in Jacksonville as a fun, comfortable and safe spot for dog daycare and boarding. At Dogtopia, we care about your dog, and, hand-in-hand with that, every dog is treated with respect and understanding.”

Dogtopia of Jacksonville Beach Blvd also supports the Dogtopia Foundation, a nonprofit with the mission to enable dogs to positively change our world, funds programs focused on three worthy causes: service dogs for veterans, therapy dogs for students, and employment initiatives for adults with autism. One hundred percent of funds raised are donated directly to the supported organizations. To learn more, visit www.dogtopiafoundation.org.

The Paramedics of Property Damage Welcome Eight New Franchise Offices Across Five States

TAMARAC, Fla. — PuroClean, one of the country’s leading property restoration and remediation franchises, is thrilled to announce the addition of eight new franchise offices across five states in Q1 of 2024. This strategic expansion reinforces PuroClean’s commitment to nationwide excellence and dedication to delivering top-tier services and support to diverse communities. PuroClean has kicked off 2024 with numerous honorable accolades, and the momentum continues as the brand secures prominent rankings in Franchise Direct’s Top Global Franchises listing and beyond.

PuroClean’s new franchise owners are joining the team with unique skills and diverse backgrounds, extending the brand’s national footprint into more regions. PuroClean’s new franchise owners will serve the following territories:

Nick Ondrejka, owner of PuroClean of San Rafael, CA, is a California native who brings over 25 years of experience in leading technology transformation and operations from esteemed firms such as Wells Fargo and JP Morgan Chase. An avid paddle boarder and kayaker, Nick is well-versed in the challenges of the Bay area, where he’s lived for 27 years. Among other opportunities, Nick volunteers as a Command Center team member for the local Neighborhood Response Group, showcasing his commitment to disaster response readiness.
Noel Cornejo, hailing from a family business background that includes a pizza parlor and laundromat, is serving PuroClean of South Merced, CA, drawn to its high margin potential after a business study he conducted on the brand for his MBA research project. When he is not working, tending to his kids, or busy finishing up his MBA, Noel and his wife can often be found riding the countryside on his Harley. His business will be a family affair, with his wife and father joining him.
Ryan Weisheyer, a Marine Corps veteran who specialized in Logistics and Operations, is bringing PuroClean to Bonney Lake, WA. During his years of service, Ryan was twice deployed to Iraq, served in the US Africa Command, and in a UN Peacekeeping Mission, and participates in voluntary work with organizations such as Team Rubicon. In his spare time, Ryan enjoys outdoor and family activities. Having experienced water damage firsthand in a family property, Ryan is committed to meeting or exceeding the expectations of the community he calls home.
Peter Girgis of PuroClean of San Fernando, CA, managed a mortgage business prior to opening his own construction company where he often collaborated with restoration companies to assist customers experiencing property damage. An active member of the Christian Coptic Church, Peter values a strong relationship with his family and quality time with his children, engaging in their activities. Drawn to the strong brand presence and reputation of PuroClean, Peter is focused on delivering consistent, quality service to his local community.
Daisy and Saul Martinez, high school sweethearts turned husband-and-wife duo, bring PuroClean to The Colony, TX, under their joint ownership with extensive experience in financial management and roofing business, respectively. Members of the Immaculate Catholic Church, this couple enjoys a strong family unit and likes to travel in their spare time. Both were drawn to PuroClean’s proven business model, established marketing strategies, and more.
Cadell and Anson Orr, a dynamic father-and-son duo, are combining their expertise and strong work ethic to serve PuroClean of Ridgewood, NJ, as a minority-owned business. Both avid sports fans and natives of New Jersey, this duo has worked primarily in construction – Anson, over 30 years, and Cadell over 16. Introduced to PuroClean by Cadell’s good friend, a PuroClean multi-unit franchise owner who invited him to work on a job that left Cadell with a sense of satisfaction in servitude, and feeling like they were wearing “Superman capes.” Both are driven by a desire to create generational wealth.
Blake Daughtry, with 14 years of experience within the banking sector and entrepreneurship, brings customer service and business operations skills to PuroClean of Santa Rosa Beach, FL, serving the areas where he grew up, spanning southeast Alabama and the Florida panhandle where he witnessed property damage firsthand following a hurricane. Blake was drawn to PuroClean after witnessing the franchise owners he met, their knowledge of the business, and genuine care for the brand.
Nikita Tereshchenkov, at 24 years old, is the youngest member of the group. Born in Russia and raised in northeast Tacoma by a family of entrepreneurs, Nick is expanding his entrepreneurial background and vision to PuroClean of Northeast Tacoma, WA. As the owner of a flooring business, Nick enjoys being in close proximity to his customers and joins PuroClean because he was intrigued by the business and drawn to the culture. In his spare time, Nick enjoys fishing, hunting, and learning business development skills.

“We are thrilled to welcome our newest franchise owners to the PuroClean family,” said Steve White, President and COO of PuroClean. “Each new franchise owner has a strong passion to bring restoration services to their community and help others during difficult times. We are confident their hard work and commitment to excellence will enhance our ability to serve communities across the nation.”

As PuroClean continues its rapid expansion across the nation, the brand’s goal remains focused as it approaches the 500^th unit mark, projected for the end of Q3. The brand also hopes to add units to underserved areas, including Northern California, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Madison, WI, and more.

For more than 20 years, PuroClean has helped home and business owners with their restoration and remediation needs, serving communities across the United States and Canada with a network nearing 500 offices. The brand is seeking the right individual who may be in construction and looking to add a restoration component to their business.
