The resilience of employee-owned companies is incomparable, with a big factor pointing to the many advantages of the employee-owners themselves. Employees aren’t the only ones who are seeing the benefits, clients and customers of employee-owned companies are seeing the advantages as well.
Our company, USA Mortgage, has been 100% employee-owned for over three years. We’ve seen firsthand how these benefits extend to our customers. Here are just three of the many benefits!
- Employees (and Their Knowledge) Stick Around Longer
Customers get used to seeing familiar faces as employee retention is much higher compared to other companies. Employee-owners know that customers play a huge part in the company’s success and want to provide the best customer service to ensure a great experience.
Enhancing employee skills through training and shared company knowledge is also a priority. The relationships with other partners run deep and the trust has been built. This makes a huge difference when experience and consistency counts.
- More Agility Through Accountability
When you are doing business with an employee-owned company, most people you come across are owners. Customers have so much to gain from this personal investment – engaged employees with a hand in the company’s financial success directly correlates with an outstanding job performance.
Employee-owners are often more motivated to provide solutions to a problem and make decisions quickly to keep a customer’s need moving forward – and they’re accountable for the success of those solutions. This commitment and hard works help employee-owned companies keep their doors open.
- Stability Clients Can Count On
