Problems Holding Your Business Back: Solving Turnover, Hiring & Skills Gaps with Clark A. Ingram

Business growth isn’t just about increasing revenue—it also depends on having the right people in place to support that growth. In this episode, we sit down with Clark A. Ingram, founder and president of People Profits, LLC, speaker, author of Churn, and former Chief Human Resources Officer with more than 30 years of experience across multiple industries. Clark shares how employee turnover, chronically open positions, and skills gaps are not necessarily three separate problems, but interconnected challenges that can undermine an organization’s growth. Drawing from his experience moving from finance into human resources, he explains how looking at people-related challenges through a business and numbers-driven lens changed his approach to solving them. We also explore why conventional solutions—such as simply increasing pay—may not address the root causes of turnover, and what business leaders can do to build stronger teams, improve retention, and create the capacity for sustainable growth. In this episode, you’ll discover: - How turnover, hiring challenges, and skills gaps are connected- Why people problems can become business-growth problems- What leaders should investigate before assuming compensation is the answer- Practical ways to approach employee retention and recruitment- How a numbers-driven approach can transform human capital management Learn more about Clark, his book Churn, speaking, and workshops:https://peopleprofits.com/
