DOVER A few years back, developer John Randolph, owner of Harmony Homes and Finally Home Properties, was struggling to recruit new employees. We started to hit a wall, he said. Even when we gave 21% raises that year and improved our benefits, we still weren t attracting as many people as we needed.
The dilemma was a head-scratcher to John, who wondered what he was doing wrong or what he could be doing better as an employer. When he started asking his staff what the biggest challenges and barriers were for them, he found out it was housing. Much of his staff were in their 20s and were commuting more than 45 minutes to Durham, either because they couldn t afford to live closer or because they shared houses with roommates for cheaper rent, he said.
