Ria Radio
DC-area gardeners were devastated when they heard that venerable Behnke's Nursery was closing. After 89 years in business, Behnke's leadership knew it was time for a change. During the months between the announcement and the actual closing, the leadership of Behnke's put on a Master Class about how to take care of your staff as you close your business. Stephanie Fleming, Vice President of Behnke's, chats with us about their decision-making process, and how to do right by your staff - the people that are an invaluable part of a business success story.
