In today’s competitive market for talent, it’s important to have programs in place to improve employee retention as well as create a great employee experience. This helps to reduce turnover.

Your company may be a nice place to work but the truth is, your top performers may be just an Indeed message away from being recruited to work for another company.

Employee turnover is costly. Turnover affects the performance of an organization, and it becomes increasingly difficult to manage as competition for skilled employees continues to increase.

If your organization is experiencing this struggle, it’s time to re-evaluate your retention strategy.

WORK SCHEDULE FLEXIBILITY

Employers must prepare to accommodate today’s workers who value flexibility and a sense of individualism.

HEALTH AND WELLNESS BENEFITS

When you think of workplace perks, employee benefits come to mind. Group medical insurance benefits have become the standard. Group dental and vision plans are also in demand. Many employers also offer Life Insurance, Long-Term Disability Insurance, and Retirement Savings Plans. Progressive employers are offering employee gym discounts to show that they care about their employee’s health and wellbeing.

Offering a strong benefits package along with a Retirement Savings Plan is an employee retention strategy that’s worth investing in. When a company supports health and wellness, it allows employees to focus on doing their best work.

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

Opportunities for personal development should be available for all employees. After all, when an employee learns and grows with their position, the business does better overall. A lack of opportunity for additional training could have your top employees looking for a role outside of your company.

Personal development opportunities encourage a culture of growth for everyone in the company. It’s what’s required to keep your top talent happy in their positions—knowing that your company provides an environment where they can not only succeed but grow.
