VINTAGE VEGAS: LEGENDARY COWBOY RIDES ON

Vegas Vic, Fremont Street’s neon cowboy, is a symbol of Las Vegas’ western history. The 40-foot sign and offi cial mascot of the now-defunct Pioneer Club was erected in 1951 and continues to dazzle tourists with its big, friendly smile.

Pictured here is Mark Jacobson of YESCO adjusting the neon lights on Vegas Vic’s red bandana on March 11, 1990.

Unlike many Las Vegas signs and marquees that have found new homes at the Neon Museum, Vegas Vic has beaten the odds, having been restored and maintained on his original Fremont Street spot for 64 years.

VEGAS INC5

jan. 10 - jan. 16

What is the best business ad-vice you’ve received, and from whom did it come?

Frank Dunkel, who was vice presi-dent of purchasing for a 140-year-old restaurant chain in California, al-ways encouraged me to be firm, fair and consistent, even when it was dif-ficult. He implored me to always rise above the emotions of the moment.

What attracted you to the cof-fee industry?

I love the simplicity and straight-forward nature of it. Coffee shops have become an everyday meeting place. You interact with the custom-ers on a close level. You have to have pride in the product and recognize how important product consistency is to the customer. It’s important they start off their day in a consistent and pleasant manner, otherwise it can set them on a road that is difficult to correct. Also, when people come in as a respite to get a break from their normal daily stresses, they look to the coffee shop as an oasis. So this is a covenant we have created.

What are you reading?I just finished “Season of the

Witch” by David Talbot, which is based on San Francisco during the ’70s and ’80s. The book examines the evolution of the hippie culture, the Grateful Dead and the music scene, and the unfortunate assassination of San Francisco’s mayor, George Moscone, and how all of those events affected that area.

What do you do after work?I like to spend time with my wife

and daughters. I sit on the Juvenile Diabetes Research Board and am dil-igently helping to raise funds toward a cure to eliminate Type 1 diabetes. I also am proactive with Opportunity Village, Best Buddies and programs that serve special-needs children. I think it’s important to break down perceived social barriers and cherish everyone for their uniqueness.

Describe your management style. I adjust to the individual and the

situation. I believe in developing a proprietorship mentality within our management team. I do not believe in hiding financials; rather, I believe the employees should know the financials and understand the business, because we are in a for-profit business. I be-lieve in educating employees so they understand the ramifications of even the smallest actions within our four walls. They should take pride in rep-resenting Las Vegas Coffee Investors.

Where do you see yourself and your company in 10 years?

We would hope that in 10 years, we would be double our size and be open in more neighborhoods within the Las Vegas Valley because we believe we are a local business.

What is your dream job, outside of your current field?

I would want to be president of the San Francisco Giants. I love baseball. It’s a microcosm of American society, except with one major caveat: Every-one gets to start fresh every year with

a clean slate. There is renewed hope every year, and everyone just kind of goes for it.

If you could live anywhere else in the world, where would it be and why?

I would live in San Francisco, be-cause that is where my family is from and that’s where I have many longtime friends and memories. I was educated at San Francisco State University.

Whom do you admire and why?I admire Jeffrey Fine. I have had the

opportunity to watch him grow as a business professional and as a person who cares about the community he lives in. He has become a wonderful, family-oriented, proactive individual in the 14 years I have known him.

What is your biggest pet peeve?Dishonesty. To me, even the small-

est lie or white lie is indicative of a person’s integrity. Without integrity, you can’t base a relationship, build a career or grow a business.

Where do you like to go for busi-ness lunches?

I like to take people to I Love Burg-ers in the Palazzo or, for a fast, casual break, I go to Lobster Me in the Mir-acle Mile Shops. The Daily Kitchen on Eastern Avenue and Triple George downtown also are favorites.

If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

My single-mindedness. I focus on the completion of a task to the point that I am the type who, if I have a tube of toothpaste, I have to get every last drop out of it. While this is a great trait, sometimes to squeeze that ev-ery last bit out of something is incon-sequential.

What is something that people might not know about you?

I played softball with Barry Bonds when he was 16 years old. He could hit a softball farther than you can imag-ine. At the time, I had no idea who this kid was.

Describe your business.

Community Ambulance provides medical transporta-tion using the latest technology to ensure employees are given every tool to deliver patients and customers the highest level and fastest service.

We’re licensed to transport from Henderson, Boulder City and all federal facilities and installations.

What is your business philosophy?

We take care of our employees, and our employees take care of our patients. As a result, the business takes care of itself.

What is the hardest part about doing

business in Las Vegas?

Southern Nevada is a business-friendly community, but each jurisdiction is unique in its needs. What works in one jurisdiction may not be the best for another. Iden-tifying how we fit into each has been time-consuming and challenging, but we’re seeing tremendous progress that is paving the way for better medical transportation care and response times.

What is the best part about doing business here?

Caring for and getting to know our patients. Our EMTs like helping people and, like us, that’s why they got into this business.

What is the biggest obstacle your

business has overcome?

Building the company while remaining debt-free. Com-munity Ambulance started in a down economy, and we’re

proud that the company grew without acquiring debt.Also, there have been some changes in federal regu-

lations and reimbursement policies that have created some ongoing challenges.

Do you plan to expand to more communities

throughout the valley?

Absolutely. We’re prepared and eager to serve every community in Southern Nevada. We’re accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Ambulance Services — the highest industry standard for EMS excellence — and we can expand our fleet quickly to accommodate a big-ger service area.

How can Nevada improve its business climate?

By continuing to provide the best possible choices when it comes to meeting various needs.

What have you learned from the recession?

The use of smart fiscal policies within a company is vi-tal to success in bad times and in good times.

Speculative development reaching equilibrium

S ophisticated businesses study trends that can affect the intensity and frequency of business cycles and try to mitigate downturns and

take advantage of upswings. Real estate cycles are no different. Knowing when to

build is both an art and a science, particularly during the frequent and intense cycles of the past 15 to 20 years.

The Las Vegas real estate market has been extremely volatile during and since the Great Recession. For many years, commercial developers were cautious about building new product — retail, office or industrial space — on speculation due to worries about high vacancy rates, a lack of financing and a general lack of confidence in the market. While other parts of the country experienced new speculative construction since 2010, the Las Vegas Valley had been slower to make the turn.

In 2013, developers started considering new speculative projects after reviewing reports of decreasing vacancy rates, increasing rental rates, reasonable land costs and increased tenant activity. ProLogis, in particular, came out of the gate with a large speculative project in North Las Vegas that essentially was leased before the slab was poured. The company was rewarded for being bullish on the market.

Industrial development in the valley usually is focused on three submarkets: North Las Vegas, the Southwest (generally west of Interstate 15 along the 215 Beltway) and Henderson.

Each submarket has its appeal, and each varies materially

on rental rates. North Las Vegas offers the lowest rental rates in the valley, and the Southwest is the most expensive.

As we saw in 2015, the factors that help new development get started also can

change quickly. Although rents still are increasing, vacancy rates are decreasing. Land pricing is escalating, and the time it takes to secure necessary permits is growing longer as workloads for municipalities have grown faster than their ability to add staffers.

So is the market in danger of overbuilding industrial product? The way I view a project’s viability is based on two main questions: First, if you build the project, how many existing and planned options would a tenant have that would compete against your project? Second, what is the historical amount of product the market has absorbed on average over about 15 years, and how does that compare with what is being absorbed now?

It would be logical to think that if the amount of space being built, coupled with the amount of existing vacant space, greatly exceeds the average amount of annual absorption, we likely are overbuilding. At this point, we appear to be in good equilibrium.

However, escalating land prices may push developers to raise rental rates, which tenants may or may not accept. If tenants push back, developers then can decide whether to lower their returns or simply not build until rental rates rise.

But questions remain about the companyBy daniel rothBergStaff Writer

Faraday Future pledges to redefine mobility. It has hinted at offering an Uber-like service and producing cars that operate autonomously. It vows to sell an electric car in two years that changes our relationship with driv-ing.

But when the company, linked to a Chinese billionaire who emulates Steve Jobs, unveiled a high-end con-cept car this month as the first tangi-ble look into its plans, observers were still left struggling to assess Faraday’s ability to bring a vehicle to the mass market. As promised, the car was far from an anodyne vehicle, geared to appeal to a large swath of customers and made for everyday travel.

Faraday’s car resembled more of an enthusiast’s toy. It’s a one-seat sports car, dubbed FFZERO1, that boasts 1,000 horsepower, a carbon-fiber fin-ish, a driver seat tilted at a 45-degree angle, aerodynamic air ducts, four motors taking it up to 200 miles per hour and a smartphone inside the steering wheel for live images.

“It’s a very dramatic concept, as many concepts are,” said Bruce Bel-zowski, the managing director of the Automotive Futures Group at a Uni-versity of Michigan transportation institute.

But he added, “We’re really inter-ested in the production vehicle.”

Faraday’s concept car is not the pro-duction car. Tim Stevens, a CNET edi-tor, said Faraday would have to price the concept car at a level out of range for all but the wealthiest consumers. By his estimate, the window-sticker price of the FFZERO1 would be more than $1 million.

Instead, it is “an amplified ver-

sion of the design and engineering philosophies informing (Faraday’s) forthcoming production vehicles,” as Richard Kim, Faraday’s head of de-sign, said in a news release.

With no production car at Faraday’s highly anticipated pre-CES news con-ference, which was attended by state officials who helped put together a $335 million incentive package to get the company to build a $1 billion fac-tory in North Las Vegas, the auto in-dustry was left with Faraday’s ideas, the technology that will support its eventual car.

“It’s very different from what we’ve heard from other companies,” Bel-zowski said.

During the company’s presentation, Faraday’s top executives attempted to set its product apart by arguing that it represented an improved electric car in the following ways:

n Battery strings: The car is built upon a battery pack that is separated into strings of batteries rather than existing as a single pack. That means

batteries can be easily changed with-out replacing the entire pack. A Fara-day official likened this to Christmas lights arranged in a parallel circuit; one lightbulb dying does not affect the entire system. The battery strings also allow Faraday to vary the size of its cars more easily.

n Vehicle modification: Faraday touts a modular design system. With it, Kim said, Faraday could produce nearly any type of car from a flexible chassis that can be made shorter or longer. The modular design, which Faraday says could help cut costs, also allows for up to four electric motors while offering an array of power and range options.

n Personalization: Calling its car a “tablet on wheels,” the firm has long said it was building a piece of technol-ogy rather than only a vehicle to go from Point A to Point B. The FFZERO1 brought more clarity to that vision by including a smartphone in the steer-ing wheel. With enhanced connectiv-ity, Faraday said it could personalize

vehicle configuration and give drivers access to real-time data and live im-age feeds.

“They really want to make a car that increases in value,” Stevens said. “The idea Faraday is going for is they want cars that are a lot more personalized, smarter about you, your driving hab-its and your needs. A big part of that is interaction with your smartphone.”

Personalization is part of an in-dustry trend to better integrate cars with everyday life. A smart car, for in-stance, could know when to open the garage or turn on the air conditioning in a home when a driver gets near.

But despite the technology Faraday unveiled, several questions remain.

n Redefining mobility: A primary goal of Faraday’s is to create a new generation of mobility, which would suggest movement that does not re-volve around personally owned and operated cars. In the past, the compa-ny has suggested an Uber-like sharing system. During the unveiling, Fara-day did not elaborate on that aspect of its business model. And while the company said its concept car could be fully autonomous, officials did not specify on what level of autonomy their production car would have.

n A mass-market car: To many who watched, including Stevens, the most interesting question was whether the company would be able to create an affordable car that could compete with other carmakers’ products. Far-aday has hired hundreds of employees from tech giants like Google, SpaceX, Tesla and Apple. It also has financial backing, partnering with LeTV, a firm known as the Chinese Netflix. Ste-vens said that without seeing a more practical concept car or the produc-tion car, it was difficult to determine how successful Faraday would be.

“That’s the big thing we were hop-ing to see,” Stevens said. “And we did not see that.”

The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority said the addition of new nonstop flight routes and a

boost in convention attendance were among the factors driving the num-ber of visitors past 42 million, break-ing the record set in 2014, when Las Vegas saw 41.1 million visitors.

More than 39 million visitors had come to Las Vegas through Novem-ber, according to the authority, which

put the annual total on track to pass 42 million. Visitor volume was well over 3 million each month of 2015.

Through November, visitor volume increased 2.8 percent, with every month except March reporting an increase from 2014. Occupancy rose by a half percent on the Strip and 3.4 percent in

downtown Las Vegas over that period.At the same time, average daily

room rates and revenue per available room — a key performance indica-tor for hotels — rose 3.3 percent and 4.4 percent, respectively.

Official totals for the year will be announced soon.

SolarCity laid off more than 550 employees — about a quarter of its workforce — in Nevada.

The news Jan. 6 came two weeks after the com-pany announced it was halting the sale and in-stallation of rooftop solar panels here after utility regulators approved cutting the rate NV Energy pays solar customers for generating excess power. The new rate went into effect this month.

The company plans to keep some employees in Nevada to service existing customers and said it would work to relocate some employees to other states.

SolarCity, one of the largest providers of roof-top solar in the nation, also began dismantling a Las Vegas training center. The center opened in November to train employees from Nevada, Colorado, Texas and Arizona.

The company will close warehouses in Hen-derson, North Las Vegas and Reno, officials said.

Many employees were notified of the termina-tions Dec. 23, the day after the Public Utilities Commission approved the controversial rates for solar customers, a company spokesperson said.

The spokesperson could not recall a layoff of this size ever occurring at the company, which was founded in 2006 and backed by Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk.

“Telling employees they can no longer work for SolarCity is the hardest thing we’ve ever done,” Lyndon Rive, the company’s CEO, said in a state-ment. “These are hard-working Nevadans, and

a single government action has put them out of work. This is not how government is supposed to work.”

Last month, the PUC, which regulates NV En-ergy, approved new rates that gradually increase a fixed service fee for solar customers and reduce the value of credits solar ratepayers earn for gen-erating excess electricity.

Under the new rates, Southern Nevada solar customers this year will pay a fixed monthly fee of $17.90, up from $12.75. By Jan. 1, 2020, the fee will rise to $38.51.

Until Friday, NV Energy reimbursed solar customers about 11 cents per kilowatt hour for the excess energy they generated. That was cut to about 9 cents this month and will drop to 2.6 cents in 2020.

Companies like SolarCity say the new rates make solar too expensive, rolling back an indus-try that has about 17,000 customers and has cre-ated thousands of jobs.

NV Energy argued solar customers had avoid-ed paying some of the utility’s fixed costs in the past, which resulted in other ratepayers subsi-dizing solar customers. The new rates, it argued, compensated for that cost shift.

The solar industry and the state’s Bureau of Consumer Protection are challenging the rate change.

Gov. Brian Sandoval said he is a supporter of the solar industry, but there were legitimate public policy questions the PUC must weigh. He said that included finding the right balance of subsidy for the solar industry.

New homes in Las Vegas are selling at pric-es not reached in more than eight years, ac-cording to a new report.

But anyone hoping for a quick return to the days of rapid-fire construction is in “for a rude awakening,” and overall, November’s numbers “would again have to go into the ‘blah’ category,” says the report by Las Vegas-based Home Builders Research.

Builders sold 657 new homes in South-ern Nevada that month, bringing the year’s tally to 6,104, up 13 percent from the same 11-month period in 2014, according to the re-port.

The median price of the closings was $321,405, up 9 percent year-over-year and the highest in Las Vegas since August 2007.

Builders also pulled 437 new-home per-mits in November, the lowest monthly sum since January and well below the monthly average in 2015, 636.

Still, the tally put the year’s total through November at 6,999, up 14 percent from the same period in 2014.

If prices keep rising anywhere near their pace in 2015, a record would be set by mid-2016, if not by the end of the year, Home Builders Research founder Dennis Smith wrote.

During the housing bubble, builders sold nearly 39,000 new homes here in 2005 alone.

But people who “still like to speak about the housing production reaching the levels prior to the recession, especially in Las Ve-gas, in the next three to five years are in for a rude awakening,” Smith wrote.

The market, he noted, remains bogged down by various problems — wages are large-ly flat for many people, and Las Vegas still has the highest rate of underwater borrowers among large U.S. cities.

Some 22 percent of Southern Nevada homeowners with mortgages were under-water — meaning their debt outweighs their home’s value — in the third quarter. That’s down from 27.8 percent a year earlier and far below its peak of 71 percent in early 2012, ac-cording to Seattle-based online real estate database company Zillow.

Despite the improvement, Las Vegas’ share of upside-down borrowers was highest among the 35 metro areas listed in the re-port. The rate nationally is 13.4 percent.

“There will be no magic wand or solution to immediately cure this malady,” Smith wrote. “Only time will cure it.”

Court sides with Clark County in fight over slot parlor regulationsBy cy ryanStaff Writer

A federal appeals court has rejected the peti-tion of Dotty’s and other slot parlors in Clark County that challenged an ordinance imposing tighter regulations for such businesses.

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the constitutional rights of Dotty’s, Jackpot Joanie’s and Eclipse Gaming were not violated a year ago when the county adopted the ordinance.

The ordinance said the operations must make 50 percent of their revenue from the sale of food and drinks. The former ordinance said gaming revenue must be “incidental” to the main business.

County Commission Chairman Steve Sisolak said some mini casinos were making 90 percent of their revenue from slot machines. These small casinos must serve food prepared in a kitchen.

Prepackaged or prepared meals reheated in an oven cannot be used to meet the requirement.

Major casinos say the slot parlors don’t con-tribute to efforts to draw in tourists and should pay a higher tax.

Sisolak, one of the main sponsors of the ordi-nance, said the county tried to get the state Gam-ing Control Board and the gaming commission to define the word “incidental.” But when the state declined, the county stepped in.

The court said the ordinance does not violate the Constitution’s equal protection clause be-cause it applies to hundreds of taverns and does not single out the three companies that appealed.

The ordinance exempts taverns licensed be-fore Dec. 22, 1990.

The court said the retroactivity is “justified by a rational legislative purpose.”

Homebuilder Don Boettcher has been in Las Vegas for more than 20 years, and he knows all about the ups and downs of this boom-and-bust town.

He’s spent most of his time here with Pulte Homes, a top-selling builder at the peak of the bubble in one of the most overheated markets in America. In 2005, Pulte and Del Webb, which have the same ownership, sold more than 3,500 new homes in Southern Nevada, second-highest in the mar-ket. In 2006, the company rose to No. 1 with more than 4,500 sales.

Then the market crashed. In 2009, Pulte still was No. 2 in the market — but with only 560 sales that year, ac-cording to research by VEGAS INC.

Boettcher joined Dunhill Homes in 2010, helping develop Rhodes Ranch in the southwest valley and Tus-cany Village in Henderson. Dunhill took charge of the two partially built communities as part of developer Jim Rhodes’ $400 million corporate bankruptcy case.

Today, the 55-year-old Boettcher is building out those projects as Nevada division president for Century Com-munities, which bought Dunhill’s lo-cal assets in spring 2014.

Colorado-based Century has since bought more land here and has proj-ects all over the valley, including in master-planned communities Skye Canyon, Inspirada, Mountain’s Edge and Lake Las Vegas.

Boettcher spoke with VEGAS INC recently about Century’s develop-ments and the valley’s housing mar-ket, including the go-go years last de-cade and the wide price gap between new homes and resales.

In Southern Nevada, the median sales price for new homes is around $316,800, according to Home Builders Research. That’s more than 40 per-cent above the median price of resales, $220,000, according to the Greater Las Vegas Association of Realtors.

How is business this year for Century? you appear to have closed about 220 sales this year through late November.

That sounds about right. Our goal is to hit 265 closings this year. We want to grow the existing operations. We’re positioned to have a dozen com-munities in the next year and 500-

plus sales in 2016. Our big stores this year are Rhodes Ranch and Tuscany. Those are our mother ships.

Why did Century buy those communities?

It was a package deal, so it was all or nothing. They’re both in prime positions in their submarkets. When you look around the valley for a golf-course community with production homes being built, your choices are pretty slim. Century is in a growth mode. The company went public last year and has purchased other compa-nies’ operations in Atlanta, Houston, Las Vegas and central Texas.

in las Vegas, new-home sales rose more than 30 percent in 2013 but fell about 20 percent in 2014. last year, sales were climbing again. is the industry still volatile?

When you look at what happened in 2013, that was the first catch of breath from the recession. The pendulum al-ways swings a little too far left or right. Housing had dropped 40 or 50 percent before rising in 2013. That was a one-time ratchet-up in the opposite direc-tion. Historically, if the market goes along at 3 to 5 percent annual appre-ciation, that’s normal. It was a steady, healthy climb last year, but I don’t ex-pect the market to shoot up like it did in 2013.

Can you give an update on Rhodes Ranch and Tuscany? How many more homes can be

built, and are there other build-ers in those communities?

At Rhodes Ranch, we’re the exclu-sive builder. We’ve got about 500-plus lots left and about three more years of building and selling houses ahead of us. Same thing with Tuscany — we’ll be out there through 2018, 2019. Len-nar is building there as well. I can’t speak for when they’ll finish, but I know they bought 340 lots and prob-ably have 225 to 240 left. We’ve got about 450 lots left at Tuscany.

The valley grew fast for de-cades, but from 2004 to 2007, it really accelerated. What was different about those few years versus, say, the 1990s?

Money was accessible. One can argue whether that was good policy or bad policy or somewhere in be-tween, but the policy drove a lot of this phantom market. Everybody and their brother had a house. The fun-damentals of lending were compro-mised — stated-income loans, no-doc loans. People were using their houses as ATMs, the resort corridor was booming, everybody had their new $2 billion casino. And then the music stopped, and there just weren’t that many chairs for people to sit down in.

What were the signs for you that those days wouldn’t last forever? Was it the stereotypi-cal, say, stripper with five hous-es, or were there other things you saw behind the scenes?

All the above. You cited an example

which I know is for illustrative pur-poses, but it’s kind of right on. Even for the people just entering the indus-try in that bubble era, with no other reference point or context, you knew it wasn’t normal and it wasn’t going to last. You didn’t know how it was go-ing to all end, and I’m not going to sit here and say I knew it wasn’t going to end pretty, because I didn’t. But we all can look back and read the literature where, once upon a time, Vegas was recession-proof. There were many ar-ticles coming out that said that.

Was there a point when you thought it couldn’t get any worse, or that you’d never seen this kind of recession before?

I was as scared as the next guy. Back in the late ’80s with the oil crisis, that was more localized; I happened to be in Texas at the time with Pulte Homes, and the state got pummeled because it was a one-horse town. But with the recent recession, everybody felt the pain. Look at what happened to home prices. Lending dried up. Everybody was running scared.

How is lending right now?It’s not as tight as it was two or three

years ago, but it’s not as loosey-goosey as it was during the bubble era. It’s a fluid process and will adjust as it needs to — maybe not as quick as oth-ers would hope — but I don’t think lending is an impairment to our in-dustry right now.

What are the weaknesses in the homebuilding market?

For single-family resales, we still have a disproportionate amount of distressed properties. We also have an excess amount of rental properties in our single-family inventory.

What does that do to build-ers when you’ve got so many rental homes out there and a big inventory of unsold existing homes?

Those are housing alternatives for somebody. There’s also a big price difference between new homes and resales. When somebody’s got an op-tion to buy the same square footage and you have that big of a gap — a new home generally has a lot more to of-fer than a resale, but that gap needs to be narrower. Historically, it’s always been a 15 percent spread.

retaining workers, from page 1

Younger workers less likely to stay if unhappySimmons Group, a human resources consulting and training firm in Las Vegas.

“Feeling valued, feeling as though they are learn-ing and feeling listened to” is key, she said.

That’s a constant that hasn’t changed in at least a decade.

“The research has been very consistent,” Nichol-son said. “The biggest change in the past 10 years, up until perhaps the past 12 months, is people didn’t feel as though they had any choices. If there was no other job to go to, they may have stuck it out even if they were unhappy. This has begun to change, and it will definitely be a factor with millennials.”

Millennials are less likely than their older col-leagues to remain in a situation where their needs are not being met.

Anthony Lai, student affairs program manager at the International School of Hospitality, counsels students training for second careers. They cite a variety of reasons for quitting their former jobs, but chief among them is burn-out.

“They often tell me they were overwhelmed with the amount of work their bosses assigned to

them, putting greater importance on maximizing productivity and stifling their creativity, which had been what initially made their work rewarding,” Lai said.

Many people don’t mind working demanding jobs, as long as they feel appreciated, said Mike Murphy, president of Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield in Nevada.

“People stay at a job if there’s an environment where they feel valued and have career-develop-ment opportunities,” Murphy said.

It is important that managers foster such an en-vironment and encourage collaboration by being champions for individual and team successes.

“If one does well, the team does well, and all seem vested in each person’s success,” Murphy said.

Evolving technology has changed the landscape. “With smartphones, we’re in an environment

now where people are always checking work emails regardless of the hour or the day,” Murphy said. “But on the flip side, this connectivity gives em-ployees newfound flexibility to balance work and home life.”

Many employers realize how important it is for workers to juggle busy lives, which is why Anthem provides flexible schedules and work-from-home opportunities where it makes sense.

“Our employees consistently say they value this kind of flexibility,” Murphy said. “More than two-thirds of our associates work from home at least one day a week, and 35 percent of Anthem associates are full-time work at home.”

GettinG employees to stayRetaining employees who quit or want to quit

takes finesse, aplomb and other skills managers

seldom are trained for.Sharing cold, hard economic truths with em-

ployees threatening to leave — for instance, point-ing out that they could have a hard time finding another job, be forced to accept a lower salary, lose seniority, get laid off, etc. — can help persuade them to stay. But making it easier for them to achieve suc-cess often is a better approach.

“If you see an employee struggling, offer assis-tance to let them know you care and empathize with their work situation,” Lai said. “Promote a culture that encourages a work-life balance. Employees appreciate bosses who take time out of their busy schedules to simply listen and who are receptive.”

What should bosses avoid? “When an employee makes a mistake, threat-

ening termination will not help them correct the problem or encourage them to try new approaches,” Lai said. “Recording and documenting every mis-take will not make the employee improve.”

Instead, bosses who are good leaders go out of their way to coach struggling employees and praise their improvement.

“This further encourages them to do better,” Lai said.

Business leaders are wise to pay attention to em-ployee satisfaction. Workforce retention can be es-sential to keeping a company competitive and suc-cessful.

Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield conducts an annual survey to determine employee satisfaction and workplace engagement, and it takes the results seriously. Company officials also offer learning and development opportunities to keep workers con-tent.

“We know that many of our associates can best take advantage of learning and development op-portunities when they are self-paced and self-scheduled,” Murphy said, which is why Anthem partnered with the College for America at Southern

New Hampshire University to offer every employee a free associate or bachelor’s degree.

“It allows enrollees to complete their degree on-line at an accelerated pace, quickly opening the doors to new, broader roles at work,” he said.

So far, more than 1,200 Anthem associates have enrolled.

“As a manager, you need to have frequent and can-did conversations with your employees about their career goals and what their strengths, weaknesses and opportunities for advancement are within the organization,” Murphy said. “Don’t mislead your employees in these assessments just so they will stay with the company in the short-term. Eventu-ally it will catch up.”

At Anthem, managers are encouraged to meet quarterly with associates to discuss career goals and objectives.

Nicholson also recommends creating a culture in which management demonstrates the value of their workers.

“Offer managers the training, the time and the support to invest in their teams,” she said.

Nicholson warned against offering more money when someone resigns.

“Once an employee has made the emotional break with a company and had the resignation con-versation, even if they stay for more money, statisti-cally, they will be gone in six to 12 months anyway,” Nicholson said. “And money is rarely the reason someone leaves a job. Unless they are leaving for a 25 percent to 30 percent increase, they may say it is for more money, but the real reasons are likely dif-ferent.”

Nicholson recalled a client who gave an employee a 20 percent raise to stay with the company.

“The individual stayed for almost four more months and spent time during those four months recruiting more people to the new company,” she said.
