Working in IN-N-OUT Burger, people were referred to as “associates” rather than employees or workers. As a family-run business, treating employees as family members make them feel more connected to the business. Snyder is always held their employees in high esteem, paying them higher salary than other fast-food competitors. The company’s benefit packages are also generous, which include vision, medical, and dental benefits for both part-time and full-time associates. Such treatment engenders loyalty from workers. All associates in IN-N-OUT were given opportunities to grow and expand within the business chain. “They have the lowest turnover rate in the fast food industry, which is notorious for turnover,” says Perman. “They say that the average manager’s tenure is 14 years, but they have managers who have been there 30 or 40 years.” The company stayed focused on “Keep it real simple, do one thing and do it the best you can.” Therefore, associates were given strict uniforms and were always prompted to smile to customers, which wasn’t hard because every employee was happy to be there. Snyder is also believed in paying for hard work. This is another way to reward employees who have put effort on doing their work and keep them motivated and do the best for the restaurants.…
