challenge: Turnover Reduction
Royal Cup Coffee is a premium importer, roaster and distributor of coffee with markets in the United States, Mexico and the Caribbean.
Royal Cup Coffee prides itself on providing a unique personal touch and dedicated service to all of its customers, making the composition of its team an absolutely critical component to its success. The company believes “it takes the best people to deliver the best service.”
“Without the right people, we’re going nowhere,” declares Hatton Smith, CEO of Royal Cup. “The success of our business is absolutely dependent on making sure every person we hire can achieve our high standards and excel at what we are asking that individual to do. We needed a partner to help us find the right people to protect our customer-centric focus and to help us hold on to these people, fostering the growth of our employees and our organization as a whole.”
HighMatch responded to Royal Cup’s challenge by reinventing how the company recruits, screens, and hires its top-flight people.
The foundation for a high-performing workforce begins with hiring candidates who are well-matched for their positions. Smith and his team use the HighMatch Assessment to evaluate candidates, helping their hiring managers determine whether a candidate is a good fit for what they are being asked to do.
After a manager has hired the right candidate for the job, it’s critical that the new employee is on-boarded as quickly as possible. Smith states, “Because of our work with HighMatch, once the individual is hired, the hiring manager really owns that person’s satisfaction with the job. The manager continues an ongoing process of job counseling and quarterly reviews to ensure the new employee’s satisfaction. It’s what really makes us unique.”
“HighMatch provided us with solid, people-centered tools that are designed to be executed efficiently. A manager spends more time with a new employee up-front, but the result is more time and money saved and less turnover in the long run,” concludes Smith.
Following implementation of HighMatch, turnover in key positions dropped by 47% at Royal Cup Coffee, leading to a positive impact on revenue growth.
Other results include:
