Industry insiders share tips, beyond money, on how to make workers feel engaged and satisfied By Howard Riell | special to vegas inc
Why do employees quit? And what, if anything, can employers do to change their minds? Âś Not surprisingly, the answers to both questions depend on the specifics of each situation. Âś The relationship employees have with their immediate supervisors is the No. 1 reason people stay or leave a job, said Ann Simmons Nicholson, owner of retaining workers, Continued on page 15

Vegas Vic, Fremont Street’s neon cowboy, is a symbol of Las Vegas’ western history. The 40-foot sign and official mascot of the now-defunct Pioneer Club was erected in 1951 and continues to dazzle tourists with its big, friendly smile. Pictured here is Mark Jacobson of YESCO adjusting the neon lights on Vegas Vic’s red bandana on March 11, 1990. Unlike many Las Vegas signs and marquees that have found new homes at the Neon Museum, Vegas Vic has beaten the odds, having been restored and maintained on his original Fremont Street spot for 64 years.

Q&A with phil patent
Educated workers will take pride in their work The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf opened its 20th Southern Nevada location in March at the Venetian. Phil Patent is president and chief operating officer of Las Vegas Coffee Investors, founded in 2001 by Jeffrey Fine. Patent was entrusted in 2014 with improving the coffee shops’ food program and started by what he called “pushing the envelope on delivering excellent salads, sandwiches and wraps,” as well as introducing a panini line at Strip locations. What is the best business advice you’ve received, and from whom did it come? Frank Dunkel, who was vice president of purchasing for a 140-year-old restaurant chain in California, always encouraged me to be firm, fair and consistent, even when it was difficult. He implored me to always rise above the emotions of the moment. What attracted you to the coffee industry? I love the simplicity and straightforward nature of it. Coffee shops have become an everyday meeting place. You interact with the customers on a close level. You have to have pride in the product and recognize how important product consistency is to the customer. It’s important they start off their day in a consistent and pleasant manner, otherwise it can set them on a road that is difficult to correct. Also, when people come in as a respite to get a break from their normal daily stresses, they look to Phil Patent, president and chief operating officer of Las Vegas Coffee Investors, came from a full-service restaurant the coffee shop as an oasis.

Wraps are off of Faraday Future car But questions remain about the company By daniel rothberg Staff Writer
Faraday Future pledges to redefine mobility. It has hinted at offering an Uber-like service and producing cars that operate autonomously. It vows to sell an electric car in two years that changes our relationship with driving. But when the company, linked to a Chinese billionaire who emulates Steve Jobs, unveiled a high-end concept car this month as the first tangible look into its plans, observers were still left struggling to assess Faraday’s ability to bring a vehicle to the mass market. As promised, the car was far Faraday Future’s concept vehicle FFZERO1 is unveiled Jan. 4 at an event before from an anodyne vehicle, geared to the start of CES.

A big part of that is interaction with your smartphone.” Personalization is part of an industry trend to better integrate cars with everyday life. A smart car, for instance, could know when to open the garage or turn on the air conditioning in a home when a driver gets near. But despite the technology Faraday unveiled, several questions remain. n Redefining mobility: A primary goal of Faraday’s is to create a new generation of mobility, which would suggest movement that does not revolve around personally owned and operated cars. In the past, the company has suggested an Uber-like sharing system. During the unveiling, Faraday did not elaborate on that aspect of its business model. And while the company said its concept car could be fully autonomous, officials did not specify on what level of autonomy their production car would have. n A mass-market car: To many who watched, including Stevens, the most interesting question was whether the company would be able to create an affordable car that could compete with other carmakers’ products. Faraday has hired hundreds of employees from tech giants like Google, SpaceX, Tesla and Apple. It also has financial backing, partnering with LeTV, a firm known as the Chinese Netflix. Stevens said that without seeing a more practical concept car or the production car, it was difficult to determine how successful Faraday would be. “That’s the big thing we were hoping to see,” Stevens said. “And we did not see that.”
For second consecutive year, Las Vegas tourism hits new high By j.d. morris Staff Writer
Las Vegas surpassed 42 million annual visitors for the first time last year, tourism officials announced. The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority said the addition of new nonstop flight routes and a
boost in convention attendance were among the factors driving the number of visitors past 42 million, breaking the record set in 2014, when Las Vegas saw 41.1 million visitors. More than 39 million visitors had come to Las Vegas through November, according to the authority, which
put the annual total on track to pass 42 million. Visitor volume was well over 3 million each month of 2015. Through November, visitor volume increased 2.8 percent, with every month except March reporting an increase from 2014. Occupancy rose by a half percent on the Strip and 3.4 percent in
downtown Las Vegas over that period. At the same time, average daily room rates and revenue per available room — a key performance indicator for hotels — rose 3.3 percent and 4.4 percent, respectively. Official totals for the year will be announced soon.

SolarCity lays off more than 550 workers in Nevada By daniel rothberg Staff Writer
SolarCity laid off more than 550 employees — about a quarter of its workforce — in Nevada. The news Jan. 6 came two weeks after the company announced it was halting the sale and installation of rooftop solar panels here after utility regulators approved cutting the rate NV Energy pays solar customers for generating excess power. The new rate went into effect this month. The company plans to keep some employees in Nevada to service existing customers and said it would work to relocate some employees to other states. SolarCity, one of the largest providers of rooftop solar in the nation, also began dismantling a Las Vegas training center. The center opened in November to train employees from Nevada, Colorado, Texas and Arizona. The company will close warehouses in Henderson, North Las Vegas and Reno, officials said. Many employees were notified of the terminations Dec. 23, the day after the Public Utilities Commission approved the controversial rates for solar customers, a company spokesperson said. The spokesperson could not recall a layoff of this size ever occurring at the company, which was founded in 2006 and backed by Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk. “Telling employees they can no longer work for SolarCity is the hardest thing we’ve ever done,” Lyndon Rive, the company’s CEO, said in a statement. “These are hard-working Nevadans, and
a single government action has put them out of work. This is not how government is supposed to work.” Last month, the PUC, which regulates NV Energy, approved new rates that gradually increase a fixed service fee for solar customers and reduce the value of credits solar ratepayers earn for generating excess electricity. Under the new rates, Southern Nevada solar customers this year will pay a fixed monthly fee of $17.90, up from $12.75. By Jan. 1, 2020, the fee will rise to $38.51. Until Friday, NV Energy reimbursed solar customers about 11 cents per kilowatt hour for the excess energy they generated. That was cut to about 9 cents this month and will drop to 2.6 cents in 2020. Companies like SolarCity say the new rates make solar too expensive, rolling back an industry that has about 17,000 customers and has created thousands of jobs. NV Energy argued solar customers had avoided paying some of the utility’s fixed costs in the past, which resulted in other ratepayers subsidizing solar customers. The new rates, it argued, compensated for that cost shift. The solar industry and the state’s Bureau of Consumer Protection are challenging the rate change. Gov. Brian Sandoval said he is a supporter of the solar industry, but there were legitimate public policy questions the PUC must weigh. He said that included finding the right balance of subsidy for the solar industry.
Court sides with Clark County in fight over slot parlor regulations By cy ryan Staff Writer
A federal appeals court has rejected the petition of Dotty’s and other slot parlors in Clark County that challenged an ordinance imposing tighter regulations for such businesses. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the constitutional rights of Dotty’s, Jackpot Joanie’s and Eclipse Gaming were not violated a year ago when the county adopted the ordinance. The ordinance said the operations must make 50 percent of their revenue from the sale of food and drinks. The former ordinance said gaming revenue must be “incidental” to the main business. County Commission Chairman Steve Sisolak said some mini casinos were making 90 percent of their revenue from slot machines. These small casinos must serve food prepared in a kitchen.
Prepackaged or prepared meals reheated in an oven cannot be used to meet the requirement. Major casinos say the slot parlors don’t contribute to efforts to draw in tourists and should pay a higher tax. Sisolak, one of the main sponsors of the ordinance, said the county tried to get the state Gaming Control Board and the gaming commission to define the word “incidental.” But when the state declined, the county stepped in. The court said the ordinance does not violate the Constitution’s equal protection clause because it applies to hundreds of taverns and does not single out the three companies that appealed. The ordinance exempts taverns licensed before Dec. 22, 1990. The court said the retroactivity is “justified by a rational legislative purpose.”
Median price for new homes in Las Vegas hits $321,405 By eli segall Staff Writer
New homes in Las Vegas are selling at prices not reached in more than eight years, according to a new report. But anyone hoping for a quick return to the days of rapid-fire construction is in “for a rude awakening,” and overall, November’s numbers “would again have to go into the ‘blah’ category,” says the report by Las Vegasbased Home Builders Research. Builders sold 657 new homes in Southern Nevada that month, bringing the year’s tally to 6,104, up 13 percent from the same 11-month period in 2014, according to the report. The median price of the closings was $321,405, up 9 percent year-over-year and the highest in Las Vegas since August 2007. Builders also pulled 437 new-home permits in November, the lowest monthly sum since January and well below the monthly average in 2015, 636. Still, the tally put the year’s total through November at 6,999, up 14 percent from the same period in 2014. If prices keep rising anywhere near their pace in 2015, a record would be set by mid2016, if not by the end of the year, Home Builders Research founder Dennis Smith wrote. During the housing bubble, builders sold nearly 39,000 new homes here in 2005 alone. But people who “still like to speak about the housing production reaching the levels prior to the recession, especially in Las Vegas, in the next three to five years are in for a rude awakening,” Smith wrote. The market, he noted, remains bogged down by various problems — wages are largely flat for many people, and Las Vegas still has the highest rate of underwater borrowers among large U.S. cities. Some 22 percent of Southern Nevada homeowners with mortgages were underwater — meaning their debt outweighs their home’s value — in the third quarter. That’s down from 27.8 percent a year earlier and far below its peak of 71 percent in early 2012, according to Seattle-based online real estate database company Zillow. Despite the improvement, Las Vegas’ share of upside-down borrowers was highest among the 35 metro areas listed in the report. The rate nationally is 13.4 percent. “There will be no magic wand or solution to immediately cure this malady,” Smith wrote. “Only time will cure it.”

Homebuilder in Rhodes Ranch, Tuscany on state of real estate market: ‘It’s a steady, healthy climb’ By Eli Segall Staff Writer
Homebuilder Don Boettcher has been in Las Vegas for more than 20 years, and he knows all about the ups and downs of this boom-and-bust town. He’s spent most of his time here with Pulte Homes, a top-selling builder at the peak of the bubble in one of the most overheated markets in America. In 2005, Pulte and Del Webb, which have the same ownership, sold more than 3,500 new homes in Southern Nevada, second-highest in the market. In 2006, the company rose to No. 1 with more than 4,500 sales. Then the market crashed. In 2009, Pulte still was No. 2 in the market — but with only 560 sales that year, acDon Boettcher, president of Century Communities’ Nevada Division, smiles cording to research by VEGAS INC. during an interview at the company’s offices.

which I know is for illustrative purposes, but it’s kind of right on. Even for the people just entering the industry in that bubble era, with no other reference point or context, you knew it wasn’t normal and it wasn’t going to last. You didn’t know how it was going to all end, and I’m not going to sit here and say I knew it wasn’t going to end pretty, because I didn’t. But we all can look back and read the literature where, once upon a time, Vegas was recession-proof. There were many articles coming out that said that. Was there a point when you thought it couldn’t get any worse, or that you’d never seen this kind of recession before? I was as scared as the next guy. Back in the late ’80s with the oil crisis, that was more localized; I happened to be in Texas at the time with Pulte Homes, and the state got pummeled because it was a one-horse town. But with the recent recession, everybody felt the pain. Look at what happened to home prices. Lending dried up. Everybody was running scared. How is lending right now? It’s not as tight as it was two or three years ago, but it’s not as loosey-goosey as it was during the bubble era. It’s a fluid process and will adjust as it needs to — maybe not as quick as others would hope — but I don’t think lending is an impairment to our industry right now. What are the weaknesses in the homebuilding market? For single-family resales, we still have a disproportionate amount of distressed properties. We also have an excess amount of rental properties in our single-family inventory. What does that do to builders when you’ve got so many rental homes out there and a big inventory of unsold existing homes? Those are housing alternatives for somebody. There’s also a big price difference between new homes and resales. When somebody’s got an option to buy the same square footage and you have that big of a gap — a new home generally has a lot more to offer than a resale, but that gap needs to be narrower. Historically, it’s always been a 15 percent spread.

re taining workers, from page 1
Younger workers less likely to stay if unhappy Simmons Group, a human resources consulting and training firm in Las Vegas. “Feeling valued, feeling as though they are learning and feeling listened to” is key, she said. That’s a constant that hasn’t changed in at least a decade. “The research has been very consistent,” Nicholson said. “The biggest change in the past 10 years, up until perhaps the past 12 months, is people didn’t feel as though they had any choices. If there was no other job to go to, they may have stuck it out even if they were unhappy. This has begun to change, and it will definitely be a factor with millennials.” Millennials are less likely than their older colleagues to remain in a situation where their needs are not being met. Anthony Lai, student affairs program manager at the International School of Hospitality, counsels students training for second careers. They cite a variety of reasons for quitting their former jobs, but chief among them is burnout. “They often tell me they were lai overwhelmed with the amount of work their bosses assigned to them, putting greater importance on maximizing productivity and stifling their creativity, which had been what initially made their work rewarding,” Lai said. Many people don’t mind working demanding jobs, as long as they feel appreciated, said Mike Murphy, president of Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield in Nevada. “People stay at a job if there’s an environment where they feel valued and have career-development opportunities,” Murphy said. It is important that managers foster such an environment and encourage collaboration by being champions for individual and team successes. “If one does well, the team does well, and all seem vested in each person’s success,” Murphy said. Evolving technology has changed the landscape. “With smartphones, we’re in an environment now where people are always checking work emails regardless of the hour or the day,” Murphy said. “But on the flip side, this connectivity gives employees newfound flexibility to balance work and home life.” Many employers realize how important it is for workers to juggle busy lives, which is why Anthem provides flexible schedules and work-from-home opportunities where it makes sense. “Our employees consistently say they value this kind of flexibility,” Murphy said. “More than twothirds of our associates work from home at least one day a week, and 35 percent of Anthem associates are full-time work at home.” Getting employees to stay Retaining employees who quit or want to quit takes finesse, aplomb and other skills managers

seldom are trained for. Sharing cold, hard economic truths with employees threatening to leave — for instance, pointing out that they could have a hard time finding another job, be forced to accept a lower salary, lose seniority, get laid off, etc. — can help persuade them to stay. But making it easier for them to achieve success often is a better approach. “If you see an employee struggling, offer assistance to let them know you care and empathize with their work situation,” Lai said. “Promote a culture that encourages a work-life balance. Employees appreciate bosses who take time out of their busy schedules to simply listen and who are receptive.” What should bosses avoid? “When an employee makes a mistake, threatening termination will not help them correct the problem or encourage them to try new approaches,” Lai said. “Recording and documenting every mistake will not make the employee improve.” Instead, bosses who are good leaders go out of their way to coach struggling employees and praise their improvement. “This further encourages them to do better,” Lai said. Business leaders are wise to pay attention to employee satisfaction. Workforce retention can be essential to keeping a company competitive and successful. Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield conducts an annual survey to determine employee satisfaction and workplace engagement, and it takes the results seriously. Company officials also offer learning and development opportunities to keep workers content. “We know that many of our associates can best take advantage of learning and development opportunities when they are self-paced and selfscheduled,” Murphy said, which is why Anthem partnered with the College for America at Southern
New Hampshire University to offer every employee a free associate or bachelor’s degree. “It allows enrollees to complete their degree online at an accelerated pace, quickly opening the doors to new, broader roles at work,” he said. So far, more than 1,200 Anthem associates have enrolled. “As a manager, you need to have frequent and candid conversations with your employees about their career goals and what their strengths, weaknesses and opportunities for advancement are within the organization,” Murphy said. “Don’t mislead your employees in these assessments just so they will stay with the company in the short-term. Eventually it will catch up.” At Anthem, managers are encouraged to meet quarterly with associates to discuss career goals and objectives. Nicholson also recommends creating a culture in which management demonstrates the value of their workers. “Offer managers the training, the time and the support to invest in their teams,” she said. Nicholson warned against offering more money when someone resigns. “Once an employee has made the emotional break with a company and had the resignation conversation, even if they stay for more money, statistically, they will be gone in six to 12 months anyway,” Nicholson said. “And money is rarely the reason someone leaves a job. Unless they are leaving for a 25 percent to 30 percent increase, they may say it is for more money, but the real reasons are likely different.” Nicholson recalled a client who gave an employee a 20 percent raise to stay with the company. “The individual stayed for almost four more months and spent time during those four months recruiting more people to the new company,” she said.
