Staff Retention
Staff retention is about making your staff feel wanted and valued so they are less inclined to leave. Employees want jobs that make them feel good about themselves, and bosses who reward them when they do well. The main three things staff desire are a competitive salary, competitive holidays and training.
If you want to improve your staff retention then there are lots of ways to do it:
- Always select the right person for the job in the first place, and don't promise lots of things in the interview if the real job doesn't match up. Staff will be disappointed and will soon start to look for another job.
- Offer better benefits, and reward those members of staff who remain loyal with extra days off after 5, 10, 15 years service.
- Respect your staff members' opinions by letting them share their ideas and listening to what they say.
- Offer regular one-on-one discussions with each member of staff to discuss their performance and tell them what they need to do to see their pay increase.
- Allow flexible working if possible and recognise that your staff have lives outside of work.
- Notice when your staff go the extra mile and reward them with gift vouchers, flowers or chocolates.
- Let your best staff know that there is room for them to progress through the company. That way they won't start looking for promotion somewhere else.
All these things can help your staff retention rates and because they can drastically improve staff morale in your workplace. Small tokens to say thank you for a job well done can make a big difference to how an employee feels.
