86% of Hourly Workers Share What Would Make Them Happier

John Waldmann, CEO and co-founder of the small business team management app Homebase, is on a mission to provide everything local businesses need to build unstoppable teams. With features like scheduling, time tracking, payroll, financial services, communication, hiring, onboarding, and compliance, Homebase is tailored specifically for the unique challenges faced by neighborhood coffee shops, restaurants, and retail businesses.

Inspired by friends and family members who struggled to manage their teams effectively, Waldmann and his co-founder launched Homebase to provide a solution for small businesses. Through their platform, they aim to help businesses streamline their operations and create a positive work experience for their employees.

In a recent study conducted by Homebase, it was found that hourly workers at small businesses are generally happier than those at larger corporations. The study also revealed that simple gestures like recognition and flexibility in scheduling can significantly impact employee satisfaction.

For small business owners who may be resistant to adopting new technology, Waldmann’s advice is clear: embracing tools like Homebase can save valuable time and simplify essential tasks like payroll and time tracking. By freeing up just five hours a week, businesses can focus on what truly matters – providing a great work environment for their teams.

Aspiring entrepreneurs are encouraged to find a problem they are passionate about solving and to prioritize the aspects of their business that energize them. Waldmann’s own passion for helping local businesses thrive has been the driving force behind Homebase’s success, and he encourages others to find what fuels their entrepreneurial spirit.
