Proven Retention Strategies to Help Reduce Employee Turnover
It’s no surprise that recruiting is a challenge. On some level, finding the right talent is always a challenge. So it’s logical that, once organizations find the right employees, they want them to stay. I mean no one says, “Hey, let’s hire Leonard. He’s not going to be very good and he’ll leave in a few months.”
The first thing that organizations need to realize is that employee retention is everyone’s responsibility. Turnover and retention are not “HR issues”. The factors that influence retention extend beyond human resources. The entire organization needs to buy-into making retention part of their role.
And if you’re wondering what those factors are that influence turnover, I did a survey here on HR Bartender about why employees leave companies. The common wisdom is that that employees leave bad managers. But the top reason may surprise you! Businesses need to be ready to address the issues.
