In today’s episode, John sits down with Tricia Sciortino (shore-tee-no), CEO at Belay. Founded in 2010 as an all-remote organization, Belay is a virtual staffing solution helping leaders who need remote work. Belay offers virtual assistant solutions, financial and booking, website management, and social media management solutions. Today, Belay has approximately 140 employees and 1700 contractors and has remained all-remote since 2010.

Tricia and John talk about what culture looks like at Belay, why culture should be clearly defined at your organization, and the importance of engaging your team members.

About Tricia Sciortino

As CEO of BELAY and co-host of our One Next Step Podcast, Tricia strives to lead and inspire their team and listeners to provide extraordinary services – all while finding great talent along the way. It’s her distinct privilege to be able to cast vision for the future of BELAY and empower their team to live their mission: Glorifying God by providing solutions that equip our clients with the confidence to climb higher.

Born and raised in Long Island, Tricia attended the University of Hartford and earned a degree in Business Administration and Management. For ten years, she served as District Manager for the retail chain Pacific Sunwear, however, when her first child was born, she – like many other parents – found herself struggling to balance her high-profile career with her new role as a mother.

Enter: BELAY

Joining a startup during the recession was risky, but she took a leap of faith. As BELAY’s first employee and virtual assistant – and then onto serve as Director, Vice President, President, COO, and now CEO – Tricia has spent the last nearly 10 years ‘walking the walk’ of what they call the Third Option: the ability to cultivate a balanced life with a successful career while making family and personal relationships a priority.

We’re experiencing a shift in the way we work. Employees are feeling burned out – more than ever before. Disengagement is rising. And it's become increasingly clear that most employers simply aren’t meeting their people’s needs.

All of this has culminated in ‘The Great Resignation,’ with millions of workers leaving their jobs and employers scrambling for solutions.

But this is only the beginning.

We're facing a revolution in how we approach work. A new kind of employee experience is long overdue. It’s time to treat employees like humans first, and workers second. It’s time for #TheGreatRetention

On this show, Prem Bhatia and John Duisberg, co-founders of Cooleaf in Atlanta GA, will be unpacking the wisdom from today’s top business executives of organizations making extraordinary strides to meet this demand while building remarkable work cultures.

Through sharing their wisdom with you, our mission is to transform the Great Resignation into ‘The Great Retention’.

👉 We aim to create a world where every employee feels supported.

👉 Where remote workers feel connected and engaged.

👉 Where employee feedback is heard and acted on.

👉 Where diversity, equity, and inclusion are a central part of every company culture.

👉 Where every workplace is purpose-driven.

That’s #TheGreatRetention. Will you join us?
