In the world of law, having a successful and cohesive team is crucial. Aviva Gordon, a leading figure in the legal industry, emphasizes the importance of employee retention through culture and connection, rather than just hiring.
Gordon, the founder of Gordon Law LLC, shares her insights in various platforms, including her podcast, which can be accessed on Stitcher, YouTube, Apple Podcast, Spotify, and Amazon Music. Her website, our website, provides more information about her law firm and its services.
Gordon's approach to building a rockstar legal team is unique. She believes in defining the right personality and skill profile before hiring, ensuring alignment with the team and role. Once the right candidate is hired, a 90-day integration plan with clear deliverables is implemented to help them transition smoothly.
Gordon stresses the importance of coaching both the leader and the new hire throughout the onboarding process. This fosters mutual understanding and trust, setting the stage for a successful partnership.
Gordon's team culture is built on real human relationships and consistent personal connection. Instead of automated responses, direct client contact is encouraged. She also encourages a culture where employees feel ownership over their processes, increasing investment and motivation.
Gordon believes in creating an environment where people want to show up. This is achieved by focusing on intentional investment from Day 1, consistent communication, and providing growth opportunities, even in small firms. Team solidarity is strong, with employees backing each other when facing disrespect and sharing informal moments like Friday afternoon talks together.
Gordon highlights that employee retention is a leadership skill that goes beyond just hiring. It requires ongoing relationship-building and clear communication of expectations. This creates a team she trusts, allowing her to focus on law, leadership, and business growth.
