She enjoys finding the right team members for your company and later hearing about how those team members flourished.While AHA! helps fill positions at all levels, Andrea has a special focus on frontline employees. She recently shared in an interview, “We often hear, why even bother investing in finding the right frontline employee when they’re only going to stay a few months and they’re not going to care anyway? What’s the point? While a lot of them may be transitional type positions, it is so important to get the right people in the right position. It’s no secret that our team can make or break our business. You may hire the right person for your organization, but if they don’t enjoy doing the responsibilities of the position they were hired for, they’re not going to be successful and, in turn, your business won’t be either.”Many businesses and companies thrive, are profitable and are successful mainly because they attract and keep top talent in all positions. High turnover and disenfranchised employees can kill business growth, be costly, and create tremendous stress for the business owner.
