Faith, family values lead to high retention at Michigan McDonald’s Posted: 03 Aug 2009 09:52 AM PDT Most people see McDonald’s as a stepping stone—a place to make extra cash before moving on. One franchise in Michigan is bucking that stereotype. The franchise, owned by Mark and Barb Dahlke, has seven employees who are approaching two decades with the company. The Dahlkes credit faith and family values for their retention rates. "We have had extremely low turnover rates," Mark Dahlke said to the Muskegon Chronicle. "I credit that to running a Christian, family business." Two employees with more than 40 years of combined service, Janet Chapman and Marlene Wickerink retired earlier this month. Both Chapman and Wickerink praised the Dahlkes for the family-oriented work environment, which they say contributed to their longevity. "I love working for McDonald’s … they are good people," Chapman said. "I was very shy before working here. This place ‘brought me out." Though longtime employees, Chapman and Wickerink had nothing but good things to say about the Dahlkes, the praise goes both ways. "These are exceptional people who have taken the job well beyond that, " Mark Dahlke told the Chronicle. “These two people have been great examples to other crew, showing such great commitments to the customers and having such great work ethics." |
