Employee Retention

Consulting

Driving Success

Through Expertise

Every CEO, CFO, and Human Resources professional knows the unique pain of losing a great employee. When one of your top staff members quits, you not only find yourself scrambling to fill the position, but wondering where you went wrong. A great employee quitting can also disrupt the equilibrium of the rest of your staff, making them wonder whether it’s time to start looking elsewhere.

It can cost “upwards of twice an employee’s salary to find and train a replacement,” according to the Wall Street Journal. Recruiting prospects and going through the interview process can upend your entire schedule, as well as the schedules of other managers involved in the hiring process. And it is especially hard when you lose a key person who had a major impact on your business.

So, what can you do to keep your best employees? Employee retention doesn’t happen by accident! It is the result of careful planning and intentional implementation of strategy. It requires you to develop a strategy for making work more rewarding and enjoyable for all of your employees. You also have to make special considerations to focus on retaining your top performers.

What Factors Affect

Employee Retention?

One of the biggest mistakes employers make is thinking that everything is about money. They try to pay their key employees enough that they will stay, while ignoring the many other important benefits that can keep employees excited about coming into work every day.

What makes a job fulfilling differs from one employee to the next. However, by working with a consultant who understands employee engagement and retention, you can implement employee retention strategies that will help you to decrease employee turnover.

Some items to consider:

Compensation
Continued opportunities for training and personal development
Regularity of feedback (many employees want more than just an annual review)
Onboarding
Offering perks like catered lunches
Flexible work arrangements for top performers

Congratulations, Sara. I recently became ill and had to change my travel plans last minute. Sara had to contact all the candidates and reschedule for two weeks later. I know this took a lot of work, and you would have never known it because Sara was so kind and positive to make the change.
