Well, hey everybody, you're gonna have a fun time today on the podcast. I've got my good friend Jenny Catherine on. And Jenny uh has been traveling all around seeing what's going on out in the church since the pandemic. One of the things that we're gonna talk about today, which I think will make you uh a winning workplace, is how you can retain good people. How do you convince good people to stay just a little longer than they would otherwise, with the great resignation happening over the last couple years, with the the trend of people staying in jobs and careers shorter amounts of time, uh with all of that in your clear field of vision? I think it's time to start focusing on retention. And Jenny's got some great insights for us today. So look forward to the show and uh hope you'll get the show notes afterward. Well, hey everybody, thanks for joining us today. My good friend Jenny Catron is on. It's Katrin, not Catrone. Things you learn, it's Lucato, not Lucato, it's Catron, not Katrone. So Jenny, thanks for joining us today. It's always good to see you.
SPEAKER_03Thanks, William. Excited to connect and always great to talk as well.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I'm sorry. You I can see you're in your home office there in Appleton, and it's still cold and nasty there.
SPEAKER_03Um a little chilly still. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I was telling you we had spent some time in Florida this winter and it was the right decision, but we came back and there was still snow on the ground. And now, I mean, you know, I I told my husband I went out for a run the next day after we got back from Florida, and I said, it wasn't too bad. You know, I had I had to put a coat on, I had to have my ear thing on and my gloves on, but it was all right, you know. And so he's like, You're crazy, you're crazy, you know.
SPEAKER_00When I moved here to Houston 20 almost 22 years ago now, uh, my neighbors said to me, Oh, yeah, we have two seasons. I said, What's ha ha, what do you mean? Oh, we have summer and we have August.
SPEAKER_03Yes. Yes.
SPEAKER_00People don't realize we're the same parallel as Orlando, so it looks gray and nasty out there, but it's it's actually quite warm and uh yeah.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Houston, I I don't, I don't know if I could do Houston weather. Like it's just it, I it my impression is it's just always hot.
SPEAKER_00Uh it's it's you know what? It's always humid. So we have better skin than we would if we lived other places.
SPEAKER_03That's this is true. This is true. Okay. That's anyway. I love it.
SPEAKER_00It's interesting to talk, you know, you get Florida, Appleton, Wisconsin, Houston, all these places. The the number one question I get when I'm out on the road or in the air is uh from other pastures is so what's going on out there? It's like everybody gets so burrowed down in what they're doing. We're recording this the Thursday before Easter, which is probably if I'm guessing a quiet time for you. It's a quiet time for us. Yeah, nobody's nobody wants to talk to consultants this week. Um, but but it's interesting to to have both of us on this call at the same time. Like it might be really fun to kind of talk. All right, it it was three years ago this week when people were actually calling off Easter services for the first time, probably in Christendom.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, I mean, for sure. We never experienced that. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, people, well-known pastors who told me, I don't care what happens, we're not cut, and then they called it off. So fast forward through three years, which probably feels like 20 to many of you listening today. How are things? You're out on the road, you're traveling, you're speaking. What are you sensing about uh where the church is right now in terms of are we around the corner from the pandemic? And if so, what what what are the differences you're seeing now versus four years ago?
SPEAKER_03Yeah, yeah, great questions. I it is I I do think the I do think we're beyond the pandemic in most cases, in that it's it's oh yeah, remember that thing that was such a disruption. A lot of the churches that I'm talking to are really seeing rebounding momentum as far as like connecting with their community, seeing their attendance bounce back. There's some exceptions to that, but most of most of the churches that I'm talking to and working with, they are really seeing a rebound. Um, now it may be, you know, there's still a little bit of comparison of pre-COVID numbers and current numbers, but the momentum's going in the right direction as far as seeing growth and and you know, feeling like they're achieving mission again. So I'm seeing a lot of hopefulness from that standpoint. Um, I think that uh now the reality is um what's the longevity of our team at this point, right? Because we all rallied together, weathered these last couple of years that were crazy. We had some team members depart, maybe they relocated to be near family, or you know, we downsized a little bit, or whatever the situation might be. And I think there's now a lot of people pulling their head up and going, okay, wait, how are we? Like, how you know, how's our team? How are we doing? What's good, what's not so good? So I feel like there's a little um the fatigue of some teams, I think, is showing. It's not true across the bar board. I'd be interested to hear what you're seeing too, William. But I do I'm hearing a little bit more of that.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, you know, one of the articles I've written for Forbes that's gotten more traction than anything else was there is no work-life balance.
SPEAKER_03Right. Yes, yes. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00So if you've worked in a church, frankly, if you uh you're experiencing it right now, if you're real time in a church, because it's uh it's that week before Easter, it and they it's a four-letter word that starts with H. Holy week. Oh, although it feels like a different H and three letters sometimes, having done this many times. And and in that week before Easter, you don't have a life.
SPEAKER_03Right.
SPEAKER_00You just don't.
SPEAKER_03Right.
SPEAKER_00And and on Easter, and and you know, don't come to me if you're on church staff and say, but I gotta get to the soccer game or that not this week. No, you know, so I I think in a macro sense, so then the week after Easter, when I was fresh out of seminary, I preached on what was then known as worldwide associate pastor Sunday.
SPEAKER_03Yes, that's right. Yep.
SPEAKER_00Strategy's changed now. Smart pastors actually do preach the week after because they want to bring people back. But uh, it's like after Easter, everybody went to the beach and just got out of town. So that it wasn't uh a predictable work-life balance, but there's this surge in activity, and then you gotta have a release or everybody loses their mind. Yeah, I think 2020 saw an enormous surge in activity for a sustained period of time.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, that's it. True.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, and and like everybody took on other duties as necessary. Well, we don't have an online campus pastor. Now we do, you're it, you know. Yes, we don't have somebody managing digital giving. Well, now we do, you're it, you know, and you're running camera, and you know, but everybody took on extra stuff. Yes, and which was frankly therapeutic for many pastors I talked to because they couldn't get out of the house and they couldn't go see people in the hospital. And but the the the compound interest of that surge of activity, I think, really caught up to us. I think in 22. Yes, yeah, you know, 21, we were still dealing with you know, Megatron or whichever variant we were on. You know, and um it's still very reactionary, yeah. Yeah, yeah. 22, it started to feel like okay, but then you got all this resignation and churn. 23 is beginning to feel like some sense of normal again, but with a heavy, heavy cost on the mental health of pastors.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, I think that's true. I think the what I'm also hearing is the lack of clarity now or the need for clarity that teams are describing of, oh, yes, everybody's job responsibilities were shifted. Okay, now you like you were saying, now you're taking on this role, now you're taking on this, will you cover this? Will you do this? And everybody leaned in and did that for a couple of years because we care about the mission and we just want to figure it out, right? Like we we leaned in and rallied together around that. But now what I'm hearing from a lot of staff members is like, okay, is this now my forever? Like, what is exactly who's who's doing what? And one of the things we talk about a lot with uh the organizations we serve is just how clarity is a chief indicator of the health of a culture, right? If there's if there's a lack of clarity around simple things like how we're structured, structured, what our roles are, um, how we meet together, do we have a flexible work schedule? You know, like all of these things that were kind of up in the air. And we lived with the ambiguity of it for a couple of years because again, we were we knew we were all just figuring it out. Now team members are saying, hey, I gotta know, is this, you know, is this, is this my new reality? Is, you know, what's my role or my place on the team now? And the the leaders that are are being proactive to bring more clarity, I think are finding stronger teams and healthier cultures where there's still that ambiguity, it's starting that just wears people down. There's just an emotional toll to not being clear about what I'm responsible for. And uh, and I'm seeing that show up a lot.
SPEAKER_00That's good. That's good. So so when you see people listening today are like, yeah, I've got all these other duties as necessary. Like, what are some clear, actionable steps that people listening today might say, okay, today I learned three things I can do to clear the muddy water in our organization?
SPEAKER_03Yeah. I think, you know, sometimes we, especially if you're in this and more senior leadership seat, you think it's clearer to you than it often is for the team. So even going back to saying, okay, do we just need to provide a little clarification in job profiles for our staff? Right. If if we have actually shifted some responsibilities, I just need to actually declare that by, you know, doing a little bit of a rewrite on their job profile, actually making adjustments on an org structure, assuming you have one. I'm a big advocate of making sure you have one because again, everybody sees their place and how they help achieve mission. That's the the essence of an org structure. Um so I think just going back and saying, oh, and and an actionable step would be to ask your team, hey, what feels what feels ambiguous here? Where are you lacking some clarity? And and just inviting some conversation with your team to get a sense for where is there just some uncertainty? Because when when team members are uncertain, they hold back. And or, you know, you're really, you're really ambitious ones will plow forward and then you're kind of wrangling that. But most of your team will be a bit passive if they're uncertain of what's required of them. And so the greater clarity you can provide, the more confidence they have in showing up and and contributing in the way you probably expect them to, but they're like, is that my job now still? Or I don't, you know, they're the more uncertain they are, the more tentative they are.
SPEAKER_01When your team isn't whole, it disrupts your mission. We have staffed over 2,500 missions of faith. Build your best team through our customized executive search. Go to Vanderblumen.com slash get dash started to talk with our team today.
SPEAKER_00I feel like one of the things we're seeing now that folks have uh fallen somewhat into a pattern of are we at the office, are we not? How often are we there? That sort of thing, whatever the new normal is for however long that lasts. Sure. We are seeing people uh say one clear actionable step is to find out if people are happy working where they're working.
SPEAKER_03Right, right.
SPEAKER_00And uh you and I both have very different um assessments that help organizations know that. And they're very different things. They might even be named to the same thing, but it I it might be helpful to tell people uh people known for a long time. If you go to the culture tool.com, you'll get our so we have nine key areas of cultural health or toxicity. How are you how do you measure up against like this? We're about 4,000 organizations have gone through this all, Christian. And and it gives you a score on how are you in these core areas. Explain, you just unveiled a similar uh name, but a very different tool. Tell us about that. That might be an actionable step for for folks today.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, we we built a tool, again, you know, much similar to what you've done, but we built it around, we call it the culture hierarchy of needs and this recognition that for employees to be really engaged, there are they have some basic needs that we need to provide as organizations in order for them to fully contribute. So our assessment is based on those five levels of the hierarchy, which the first one is just like basic tools. Do they have compensation? Do they have the the resources they need to do their work? Do they understand what's required of them, et cetera? The second is more of the organizational clarity, the how we work. So again, do we have a clear org structure? Are our mission, vision, and values clear? Um, do we do people know their role and their responsibilities? So that's more that organizational clarity. And then the next level is connection. Like, are we creating an environment for team members to be connected? Do they have a friend at work? Do they do we provide opportunities for feedback, both being given and received? You know, so what are our mechanisms for that? And then you move up the hierarchy into um levels of fulfillment and engagement. And so our assessment gauges each of those levels for you to figure out where's the gap in our culture? Because if if we are missing some of the more uh baseline things in the hierarchy, it's really hard for employees to fully engage and contribute in a meaningful way. And so it just helps organizations kind of assess where's the gap in that hierarchy of needs and then equips them to better know how to address it. And then coupled with that, part two of the assessment for us is that taking like the specific values of your organization and your team and testing for how well is our staff um living into and aligning with those values. So we have kind of part two of our assessment is very specific to the organization to say, hey, what have you defined as the values that guide behavior in your organization? And how are we doing with that? So, you know, what I love about the one you guys do is you do that comparison, you know, that benchmarking against other organizations because so you can kind of see how your um, you know, just how you're doing against the broader culture. We're kind of saying assess yourself against what you've defined as what's core to your culture, right? So two important tools, just different lenses and ways to look at it. Um, that I think both are really helpful.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I mean, you know, it I tell people all the time when we wrote the book, Culture Wins, we studied winning cultures, 150 different organizations. We also studied some other organizations, and there was a uh giant company, top seven or eight company in the world in terms of size and revenue. And in the elevator lobby for their main office building, the headquarters, they had four walls and they put their four cultural values up. And uh it was like honesty, integrity, trust, and then something else that was similar, right? So that that was Enron.
SPEAKER_03Yep.
SPEAKER_00And if you're old enough to remember Enron, you're like, no, they weren't any of those things. So what I love about what your tool does is it says, okay, we say we're doing this. Are we the same?
SPEAKER_01Yes.
SPEAKER_00Or, you know, as I as I say when we do searches, I tell our team our job is to make sure that nobody, whether it's a church or a candidate, nobody goes down the aisle with Rachel and wakes up next to Leah, right? So it's similar.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Yes, I love that though. I've it's so good. But yeah, that's the thing is that, and and I think my encouragement always to leaders, especially more senior leaders, is we will define some of these things and then we move on. And we've got plenty of plenty of uh issues and challenges and decisions we're navigating. And so we said, okay, here's our values. I'm sure Enron and in with great intention set those four values at some point in their, you know, in their organizational life. And so we have to be conscious of that as leaders that sometimes we can set these things, but if we haven't built a rhythm to make them truly part of the culture, like truly in the water, um, they stand the chance to be more of a negative than a positive because your employees are walking by those things on the wall and kind of snickering because they're like, that is not true, that is not who we are. So we're all we're always trying to go, what is we know what you aspire to. We know what you've projected and say you want to be, but what's actually true? Because until we get honest about that, of like, what's the truth of our culture, good and bad? There's some wonderful things that are actually true about your culture. And then there are some things that are not in alignment with what you've said you want to be true. And getting honest about that is really important for um uh just building the healthy culture that you truly want.
SPEAKER_00Well, and let me just encourage whether you're using the hierarchy tool or ours, convincing someone that we need to do a cultural assessment or whether we it's a good place to work or not is kind of like convincing men over 50 to go get their annual physical. They just don't want that just don't want to know a situation, right? And but but the pandemic is your golden ticket to say, well, I mean, you know, with the pandemic, I mean you can actually use that for just about anything that would redo your budget with you know the pandemic. But honestly, you know, nothing has shaken the um the fabric and the the rhythm of culture in the workplace more arguably ever than the last three years. So it is the perfect time to say, why don't we just see how we're doing?
SPEAKER_03Exactly.
SPEAKER_00And then worst case would come out really bad, and a year from now we're gonna be a lot better. That was true for us. That's right. We made the mistake of doing our own cultural assessment, like the week after I told everybody they had to be back in the office. Don't do that. That was not good. I think there were voodoo dolls. Um but I love it. But we've measured again since then, and it's like, oh, we actually, you know, it's gotten better. So I yeah, I it's a it's one of those things you're like, why do I want to study that? Why do I want to work on that? You know why? So you don't have to hire me to do searches.
SPEAKER_03This is the truth, right? Yeah.
SPEAKER_00I mean it's about retention, yes, which is the ball game for the future. And after the great resignation, I I can't think of anything more tangible for smart leaders and employers to work on is how do I keep people, even if it's just one more year than they were planning on being here?
SPEAKER_03Absolutely, absolutely. William, I did I've been doing a keynote um this year so far on six trends that we're seeing impact culture in organizations. And uh you know, there's some usual suspects there, but the retention piece is like, I mean, that's the superpower right now. And and I think we like we talked about earlier, those first couple of years after the pandemic, we just everybody just kind of rallied. We did lose some people if they made choices to go, you know, they participated in the great resignation. But if we're not consciously trying to retain some of our best team members, I and I mean you can speak to this better than anybody of just how challenging recruitment is right now. Like it is like re attracting great people. People are more, in my opinion, I'd love to hear your expertise on this. But what I'm seeing is they're a little slower and reluctant to make massive moves or shifts. Um, there's I think there's that um uh headline out there about the great remorse. All the people who did the great resignation now are a little remorseful of maybe moving too quickly. And so I feel a hesitation from some people of not wanting to make a move too quickly, or they kind of recognize maybe the grass isn't greener over there. And so I think the recruiting is more challenging, the workforce, you know, the the um talent pool is just more uh uh competitive. And so retaining great staff, they have institutional knowledge, they um they know your culture. Um and you know, the more longer you can retain them, the the healthier, you know, your overall culture. And so just the attention to that is such a big deal right now.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, and it's not um it's not a pandemic thing. I mean, we you ask me what I'm seeing out there when I'm on the road. I'm just seeing acceleration of pre-existing trends. Yeah, like I think COVID will be end up being remembered in part as the great accelerator.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, I agree.
SPEAKER_00Oh, I mean, we you had churches that were kind of doing digital giving. Now, like nearly everybody is nearly all digital, like the offering plate is no longer a thing, right?
SPEAKER_03Yeah, yes, that would have happened, but it happened, but it would have been yeah, it would have been a slower train to that.
SPEAKER_00Online worship, yeah, okay. A lot of people were doing it. The churches you've served all have online campuses. My mother's little church, first Presbyterian in Morganton, great church. It's like 300 years old or something like that. I mean, it's crazy, and uh You know, red carpet and white columns and the whole thing. Sure. And and they, I mean, when were they going to start it? Well, they have it now.
SPEAKER_03Right, totally.
SPEAKER_00It's an acceleration of a pre-existing trend. What does this have to do with retention? Before the pandemic, we were seeing millennials as the new um uh gorilla in the workforce, the biggest chunk of the workforce.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_00They don't just change jobs, they change careers.
SPEAKER_03Right, right.
SPEAKER_00So before the pandemic, I was beating this drama of look, if you want to win, no matter what kind of business you're running or what kind of church you're leading, if you want to win, just keep your people one year longer than everybody else.
SPEAKER_03Right.
SPEAKER_00Hiring me is expensive, doing it alone is worse. Sure. And adding someone new changes the culture. So, like, whatever you can do to retain, and I think that trend has just accelerated.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_00And it's yeah, I agree. I think watching Gen Z now, I think it's gonna be even more pronounced. So, you know, you people used to get mad if a youth pastor only stayed four years. Welcome to two years.
SPEAKER_03I was gonna say four years would be a glorious now, right? Yeah, because I think I you probably know this stat better than I do, William. But the last that I saw, it's like roughly three years is a was the average, and I think that might have been a being been even a pre-pandemic number.
SPEAKER_00Um yeah, well, our you know, our goal, what we read for youth pastors, particularly, which is now the newest hardest one there is, yeah, it's just ridiculous. Um, how difficult that one particular search is, which is a whole different podcast. But um, you know, before the pandemic, I would have told you two to two and a half years was was sort of industry standard. Um our goal was to say if you bring us in, we're gonna try and get somebody who'll stay five. Right, right, you know, and and that would be a huge win. Yeah. And we've done that. So that's that's good. But that those numbers are shifting even more quickly now. What and you know, when you think about what I can do to get people to stay a little longer, one thing you can do is work on your culture. Another is, you know, probably the number one people I've had so many people call me when they're leaving a job, right? People join a cause, they leave a manager.
SPEAKER_03Yes, yes.
SPEAKER_00And the number one reason people leave the manager is not, oh, he's so mean and awful. It's I can't get him to tell me what my path is. I can't get him to tell me what my career development looks like. Why should I stay? So, one thing I wanted to share with our listeners today that I'm excited about is you're you're offering some leadership development training now. It's like your newest offering as a company, right?
SPEAKER_03Yeah, that's right. We saw the same thing, William, in that every time we would go into a team to work on organizational culture and you know, and help them with team dynamics, we would continuously see this like pressure on what I would say are mid-level leaders. Like they're not in the executive team, but they have responsibility for other staff or volunteers that they are responsible for leading. And what we would see time and time again is it was the biggest contributor to like poor management at that level was often the biggest contributor to employee dissatisfaction. And so we just kept kind of looking at this and going, what's going on there? And so we uh a bunch of there's a bunch of new research coming out about all the pressure that's on that leader at that level. They they've most of them have taken on new responsibility in the past couple of years, right? So somebody left and we said, Hey, Sally, would you also take this on? Sure. Right? You're awesome. You do great work, let's give you more. And or, you know, Joe, let's promote you to now being over all of first impressions and um, you know, and congratulations. But we don't really do anything to equip them. And so then to your point, people don't, you know, this data has played out for decades of people don't leave jobs, they leave managers. And um, and so just recognizing what's happening is those managers, those leaders at that level are just not being equipped with some of the practical tools, you know, things like um I've I have I'm talking to one leader right now, and she was like, Jenny, I don't know how to do a performance review. I've never done one. My manager previously never did one. And I'm terrified. And I have this staff team that I'm responsible for, and I know I need to do performance reviews, but I don't have a clue how to do it. Will you help me? And it's it's stuff like that that I think those of us that maybe have been in leadership for a few years, we figured it out or we've gotten the training. But there are, you know, there's this wave of leaders that are stepping into these responsibilities with no training whatsoever. And as a result, their staff are getting frustrated. And like you said, they're getting no coaching on a development pathway or how they can grow. And it's tricky in ministry because it's not like we can have 10 student pastors or five small group leaders, right? There's typically one role. So what happens is we just avoid the conversations because we don't know how to answer the question, right? Because in the corporate world, it's like, you know, you go from assistant to coordinator to manager to, and you can see like those growth and development pathways. And in the ministry space, there's not always uh that many opportunities or titles to be distributed, but we can be developing people and investing in their growth. So they're growing as leaders, they're growing as people, and we can be providing resources that do that. So we we launched the Foresight Leadership Institute with that in mind of saying, hey, most churches, especially, you don't have the luxury of having a leadership development department that's building out your leadership development curriculum. And, you know, like we don't, I I led staff teams of 75 to 125, and we didn't have a dedicated leadership person, you know. So, like, I know that that's not our reality. So we said, what can we create that basically becomes that for your team? And so that's what we've done. It's just a monthly leadership training program that we focus on one topic. It's one eight to 12 minute video, it's one group coaching call. And then the magic to me in this is then our team is checking in with you weekly to encourage you to implement what you're learning. Because again, we've got content for days. It's, you know, you can you can YouTube anything and get training, but we're not doing it because we need that coaching for accountability. And so that's what we're trying to do with the Leadership Institute is just really equip um that leader who's feeling the pressure of additional responsibility, but is lacking the training on some just critical skills and be that coach and accountability partner in that.
SPEAKER_00So we're super excited. Yeah, the human accountability accountability factor is huge. I mean, I know there's there's space for online and just like, you know, content that that works. Yeah. But at the end of the day, um, people who buy a treadmill rarely get in shape. People who hire a trainer do.
SPEAKER_03That's right. Yeah, that's the that's the difference. It's that uh, and we've said that always with all of our coaching and consulting work, is that the accountability piece is like that's the that's the it factor for us. And um, so we're hoping that that that's the that's how this resource really supports the that's great.
SPEAKER_00I and I, you know, I can't think of a it's not a sexy, fun subject to talk about retention. Like it doesn't even sound good, it's kind of a word, right? But uh I'm telling you, I think it's the ball game, and I think it was the ball game before the pandemic, and the pandemic has accelerated a pre-existing trend. And I think working on your culture, getting some coaching about how to let people see a path for leadership development. It's and and you can just say, Why are we doing all this new stuff? You just say, you know, the pandemic. That's all you have to say.
SPEAKER_03That's all you have to say. You just use that as your excuse of like, yeah, hey, well, the pandemic, we gotta we gotta respond to this. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00And if you're listening right now and you're thinking of leaving where you are, I would encourage you to maybe hang in there a little bit. I used to I agree. The number of people who pastors who call us on Mondays to tell us they're thinking about quitting. I mean, it's just it's actually more than all the other six days combined.
SPEAKER_03That's amazing.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I used to have like an all when it was just me when I started the company 15 years ago, I used to have like an auto voicemail for Mondays that says, hang up, call me on Tuesday. Like kidding.
SPEAKER_03That's brilliant. Yes.
SPEAKER_00Don't do anything on Monday. Don't do anything, yes. And if you're like, what do I do? I did mess up. There's lots of resources. I had a surprise uh article in Forbes recently that I just kind of thought maybe a few people like it and it's really taken off. Is uh are you regretting your resignation? Here's some concrete steps for what you need to do now. Love it. And uh yeah, so get a coach with Jenny, get a sense of how you're doing with any one of the great tools that are out there for measuring how your workplace is.
