Key Points

  • Profit sharing can significantly boost team morale and productivity when implemented with transparency and clear communication.
  • Effective profit sharing requires a business to be profitable, have accurate accounting, and be led by genuine leaders who are trusted by their team.
  • Regular leadership training and open communication are essential to creating a successful profit-sharing program that benefits both the employees and the company.

I'm Rob Gallaher, CEO of Gallaher co. In 2010 I started my own construction company. I now lead 5 companies across multiple industries. For over a decade now, I've been building and leading businesses. One of the most powerful lessons I've learned is the incredible impact of aligning employee success with company success. That's why I've become so passionate about profit sharing. Through years of implementing and refining these strategies in my own companies, I've seen firsthand how it can transform a workplace, fostering collaboration, boosting motivation, and ultimately driving significant growth. I recently put all of this experience and insight into my book, "Profit Sharing: The Power of Shared Success,". I also plan on launching an online course teaching how to set up profit sharing in late July.
