How to Get Employees to Stay

​It is now well-established that COVID caused employees to reflect and question whether the work they were doing was what they wanted to do long-term.
 
As they began searching for better treatment, better pay and benefits, more purpose, and more flexible schedules.
 
Whereas, in the past, people were tied to local jobs, employees can now consider jobs with companies anywhere.
 
Meaning there are more opportunities than before, being taken advantage of by employees.
 
So, if employers don't want to lose great employees, retention should be top of mind.
 
💠 Not the mention that it’s the right thing to do.

Of course, being fairly compensated is a minimum requirement, and flexibility is certainly important to large numbers of employees.
 
But these things by themselves are not enough to engage employees.
 
Rather, it is critical to put the core, fundamental practices that drive engagement and improve culture in place, in the right order, such as:
 
✅ Recognition, ongoing feedback and career development opportunities.
 
✅ A job with purpose and meaning is also critical.
 
✅ Plus leaders who genuinely care, who are willing to hold people accountable, and make difficult decisions if necessary.
 
In short, an organization with a great culture.
 
Because, even as the Great Resignation slows, it’s still an employee’s market.
 
And if their current employer is not providing all of the above, employees will find a company that will.
 
One that has already realized that engaging employees and having a great culture is the core differentiator in today’s market.
