The bar for a rating is often set at five stars. A five-star hotel. Five-star service. Five out of five. But what if you could get a sixth star?

In this informative business podcast, Goodman Lantern founder and CEO Raj Goodman Anand discusses how people can be the sixth star for their companies.

Raj joins Jamie McBrearty, founder of YMindset, as a guest on the 6 Star Business Podcast. Hosted by Peter Daly-Dickson and Aveline Clarke, this podcast episode discusses a number of different but equally informative topics.

Together, the hosts and guests dive into:

• A chat about how the room for personal development is the largest room in the world

• Questions on how to achieve that 6-star feeling 

• The most valuable person in a business

• How successful companies are not built overnight

• The importance of focusing on just one thing instead of a lot of little things

Raj also asks an important question: How do you create a 6-star company when your business is expanding at a rapid pace? What’s more, he talks about how to ensure everyone you employ buys into your company culture, your work ethic and has the same objective to become a 6-star business.

How to Help People Feel Valued?

The hosts and guests also take some time to chat about how to make people feel valued at a company. For Raj and Goodman Lantern, this means:

• Not capping vacation days

• Providing equipment for them to adequately work from home

• Annual retreats for full-time staff

What about companies that operate online and where employees seldomly see one another? Is there a way to make them feel valued as well? Raj believes there is and explains how. 

These days, it’s especially difficult to really convey the message that you are there for your employees and team members. So in a world where remote working is taking centre stage, successful companies are looking for new and innovative ways to show appreciation towards their employees.

All this and more is discussed on the 27th episode of the 6 Star Business Podcast. You can listen to the full episode here.
