NOVEMBER 20249Improve Employee Retention - Saving Turnover CostsThe Bureau of Labor Statistics has reported that it can cost anywhere from 16% to 200% of a worker's annual salary to replace an employee depending on the position. The implementation of TOM has proven to improve employee satisfaction, leading to higher retention rates. In a tight labor market, this can be the difference betweenfocusing on your business needs or constantly addressing high employee turnover. Employees can also focus on more revenue driving and customer-facing responsibilities, creating a more efficient business."For our restaurants to be successful, we want to have happy employees who enjoy doing their job in a safe environment," said an RT customer with eight locations. "It's also helped with our employees' peace of mind when it comes to managing their day-to- day tasks."Produce Consistent High-Quality FoodDuring lunch and dinner rushes, it can be tough to find the time to filter or replace used oil. This is another unseen cost as it can create issues with food quality and lead to a loss of future revenue. After all, if you're not producing good food, your customers are unlikely to come back. TOM helps solve this problem with automated filtering.Recently, a general manager from an independent restaurant says that guests have noticed the difference in quality. "Before TOM, if we were super busy and the oil needed to be changed, it might not get done right away. Maybe something would come out looking burnt. Now that never happens. The fish and chips come out crisp and tasty, and people go on and on about how good our fries taste."Being a More Sustainable BusinessIn addition to creating a safer workplace, RT recycles 100% of used cooking oil from customers and converts it to renewable diesel or biodiesel. In 2022, RT recycled almost 290 million pounds of waste oil which equates to 7.4 million cubic feet of landfill space saved and over 66 million pounds of GHG CO2e emission reduction.RT collects the used cooking oil from customers and works with renewable energy partners to convert it to fuel for vehicles. In our Iowa depot, we are currently using renewable diesel and biodiesel in our commercial vehicles creating a circular economy. We now deliver fresh cooking oil to customers, collect the used oil for recycling, and then use the converted oil as fuel to deliver more fresh cooking oil.Thus, in addition to all the benefits of TOM, customers are also building a more sustainable planet through their used cooking oil. One way to save money and lower business costs is to create a safer workplace for employees. This limits workplace injuries, worker compensation claims, and can lower insurance premiumsChris Hellmann
