RETAINING EMPLOYEES IN TIGHT LABOR MARKETS
Steve Ellis has been a contractor for almost twenty years. Many business owners who've been operating that long think their processes work because they've "always done it this way."
However, Steve's openness to studying and changing his processes make his operations exceptionally successful in a state with some of the lowest unemployment rates in the country.

Steve introduced a four day work week with ten hour days for his drivers which positioned him well to recruit and retain in a tight labor market. Only three states had lower Unemployment Rates in October 2019 than Colorado's 2.6 rate. The national level was 3.6 for the same month.
