RETENTION TIPS:

Retaining valued employees should be a key focus. (Check out our info on costs of hiring due to turnover!) Turnover can also be a factor in trying to recruit; companies with a high amount get a poor reputation and quality talent will not be interested in joining. It is crucial to treat all departing employees well as 1) you don’t know if they will come back, and 2) they are a pipeline to the outside world and can either promote or damage your reputation!

To retain key talent, try a few of these:
  • Continually offer training to help improve skills/education
  • Listen to needs, show compassion for challenges and offer realistic plans to over come them
  • Offer flexible work schedules
  • Offer ‘stress busters’
  • Highlight new employees on a bulletin board, website or newsletter to help ramp up – encourage current staff to interact and offer assistance
  • Support and promote a strong ‘team’ environment conducive to winning
  • Acknowledge birthdays and anniversaries of start date
  • Show respect and treat all equally and well
  • HIRE RIGHT IN THE FIRST PLACE!
  • Ascertain employee is a match for the job through profiles links for Omnia, Sales Tests On Line
  • Make your workplace one that people want to come to and work hard for
