How We Brought Our Employee Turnover Rate to (Nearly) Zero

By Jennifer Kimmich, owner of the Alchemist Cannery, a brewery in Vermont.

For nearly 30 years, I have worked in the service sector and in this time I’ve worked alongside the most dedicated, hardworking people I will ever know.

These are the hardworking Vermonters who, like all workers in the United States, need paid sick time.

Years ago my husband, John, and I decided to offer paid sick days to our employees. To the surprise of many small business owners, it was one of the best business decisions we have ever made.
