When she brought it to the attention of the company\u2019s leaders, they quickly scheduled a meeting to discuss the issue and decide on a solution.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">An open door and fast action are business as usual \u2014 and keys to employee satisfaction \u2014 at Republic, according to Bo Feagin, the title company\u2019s president. \u201cHow we react to the bad is how we win,\u201d Feagin said. \u201cIt\u2019s just one employee, but it\u2019s something that\u2019s really bothering her. So, we\u2019re going to fix it. We don\u2019t just listen to what somebody says and then kind of throw it to the side.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">\u201cKeeping your people happy\u201d by listening to workers is even more important at Republic these days, Feagin said, with the market for residential title insurance having slowed considerably since the post-pandemic boom.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">\u201cWe love to listen because the workforce is tough these days,\u201d he said. \u201cThe younger generation is out there looking for what\u2019s next, and if they don\u2019t feel like they\u2019re heard, they\u2019re going to move on. I think this company has been doing that \u2014 not only during my tenure, but from the beginning, back in 1991.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>News Roundups<\/p>\n<p class=\"dmnc_features-cta-social-article-cta-social-module__3beff secondaryRoman secondaryRoman-20 text-center text-gray-dark\">Catch up on the day&#8217;s news you need to know.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dmnc_features-cta-social-article-cta-social-module__8MgJa flex flex-wrap text-gray-dark secondaryRoman secondaryRoman-10 text-center justify-center\">By signing up, you agree to our\u00a0<a class=\"dmnc_features-cta-social-article-cta-social-module__lU9-l border-b border-gray-dark hover_border-0 focus_border-0 active_border-0\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dallasnews.com\/help\/terms-of-service\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Terms of Service<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a class=\"dmnc_features-cta-social-article-cta-social-module__lU9-l border-b border-gray-dark hover_border-0 focus_border-0 active_border-0\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dallasnews.com\/help\/privacy-policy\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Privacy Policy.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">Comments by employees support that. \u201cQuestions are encouraged and answered with patience and respect,\u201d one told us.

It has redone leases on its copying machines \u2014 there were too many copiers \u2014 and down-sized its office space by tens of thousands of square feet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">\u201cYou don\u2019t need filing cabinets anymore, because there\u2019s not that much paper,\u201d Feagin said. \u201cSo, you can get pretty skinny and still have a big office.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An employee at Republic Title of Texas was grappling recently with an especially troublesome situation.
