This leading conference for residential contractors is set to take place at Caesar's Forum in Las Vegas from October 26 to 30, 2025.
Addressing Employee Turnover
Buttenham's session, titled
"Breaking the Cycle: How to Reduce Employee Turnover," promises to offer actionable insights designed specifically for residential contractors grappling with the pressing issue of high employee turnover. As a recognized authority in the field of equity-based incentives, he will share effective strategies aimed at enhancing employee engagement and retention, crucial for building resilient, high-performing teams.
During this session scheduled for 8:00 AM on October 28, Buttenham will provide attendees with incentive plan templates designed to demonstrate how performance-based incentives can stimulate growth and help with talent retention. He states, _“Home service contractors are under tremendous pressure to retain skilled employees in today's hyper-competitive labor market. Innovative compensation strategies, like phantom stock options and alternative equity, can be transformative, fostering employee loyalty while alleviating turnover.”_
The Value of Alternative Equity
Buttenham emphasizes that alternative equity presents a unique opportunity for contractors. By offering employees a stake in the company's success without jeopardizing the owner’s equity, contractors can create a sense of ownership and responsibility that motivates staff to stay long-term. He elaborates, _“This conference serves as a crucial platform for contractors seeking practical solutions to their business challenges, especially regarding employee retention.”_
With thousands of professionals from the residential contracting sector in attendance, the Service World Expo offers a robust schedule filled with educational sessions, networking opportunities, and showcases of the latest industry technologies.
