  • Why Growing Teams Lose Talent Even When They Pay Well with Faith Rose

    Why Growing Teams Lose Talent Even When They Pay Well with Faith Rose
    Feb 4 2026

    You don’t lose great employees because of salary alone.


    You lose them when the system stops supporting real life.


    In this episode, I sat down with Faith Rose, a healthcare and benefits strategist with 20+ years of experience helping organizations improve employee wellness and financial stability without new spending or insurance disruption.


    We discussed how founders and operators unknowingly leak cash through payroll taxes, why healthcare benefits are usually treated in silos, and how preventative care can actually become a retention and resilience strategy.


    This conversation is for leaders who are scaling fast and don’t want their people, culture, or margins to crack under pressure.


    What You’ll Learn in This Episode
    • Why financial resilience isn’t about cutting costs—it’s about reallocating what’s already leaving your system


    • How payroll taxes can be redirected into preventative wellness benefits with zero net cost


    • The hidden reason many employee benefits go unused (and how to fix it)


    • Why access without affordability isn’t real healthcare


    • How early-stage companies can compete for talent before they hit 50 or 100 employees


    • The ripple effect that preventative care has on productivity, culture, and retention
