The Designed to Care™ Masterclass with Kathleen Quinn Votaw
Those aren’t three problems. They’re one problem showing up in three places, and it isn’t the one you’ve been budgeting for.
86%
of job seekers read company reviews before they apply. Your reputation as an employer is already doing your recruiting, and you didn’t write it.

52%
of people who quit say their leader or their company could have stopped them. Half the people you lost last year were yours to keep.

23%
of employees are engaged at work. The other 77% aren’t, and you’re paying one hundred percent of the payroll either way.

Gallup puts the cost of replacing one person at up to twice their salary. Multiply that by how many people you replaced last year. That number has a dollar sign in front of it, and it’s bigger than you think.
“Leaders either design for trust, or they design for fear. There’s no third option, and the default isn’t neutral.”
Twelve months, one stage at a time, working on your company instead of a case study.
What they already believed about you before they ever applied
Who you actually had to choose from on the day you needed somebody
Which either confirm their decision or start the clock on their exit
The experience you designed for your customers, and not for them
And what everyone who stays learns from watching how you handled it
Some leaders will keep doing this the way they’ve always done it, and honestly, that’s a legitimate business decision. It’s just not one I can help with.
You’ve been carrying this upstairs by yourself for a while now. Bring them with you. That was never supposed to be your job alone.
For more than two decades I’ve run a firm that teaches organizations how to build the infrastructure that takes these three problems off the table, instead of managing around them one hire at a time.
I’ve watched this play out inside more than a thousand companies, and I made most of these mistakes myself before I learned to name them. Everything I teach comes from building companies and advising executives, not from studying them.
A short quiz on how you attract, hire and keep people, scored on the spot. You’ll know where you’re losing people before you finish your coffee.
Take the assessmentThirty minutes, one to one. This isn’t a sales call; it’s a consultation. You tell me what’s happening and I’ll tell you what I see and what I’d do about it.
