How Do You Avoid Employee Turnover?
Create an effective retention plan that helps you understand why employees stay with or leave an organization-and use that information to put in place a range of strategies to ensure your organization meets employees' needs and expectations. Make your business a place where employees enjoy working. If an employee enjoys their work, they will do a better job and it will be apparent to your customers. Your goal should be to have your employees be ambassadors for your company! - When hiring, you need to start by properly explaining what the position is and what duties will be required. Many times new employees don't stay with an organization because they didn't completely understand the position that they were hired for.
- Hire the right person for the job. Make sure that the new hire has the right skill-set, experience/education and personality for the position.
- Provide the proper training, to insure that the new staff member has a clear understanding of how to perform their duties and is not learning by trial and error.
- Increase your human resource skills, so that you will know how to create loyalty and avoid losing your staff to the competition.
- Let employees' be involved in the decisions that affect their work. It is far easier to get employee "buy in" if they have been involved in the process.
- Be aware that different things motivate different people. For example: an employee with young children may value having a more flexible schedule. That same person may be motivated by other things once their children are older.
- Provide positive feedback to employees on a regular basis, not just at their Performance Review.
