Employees Do Not Retain Unless You Do This
Today organization's way to view and pay their employees is changed. The thought of traditional "cost of doing business" concept is moved away. Successful businesses develop creative ideas and programs to guide and train employees to focus on improving business strategy, performance and reward them for their contributions. Unfortunately many organizations and employees are still not ready to accept new techniques to make changes into what existing.
(a) Communicate
Frequent communication with potential resources is the way to know how they react towards each organizational activity. As we always try to retain best employees, it becomes important to us to know how they look towards any change or what will be the best way to implement something. Discussing plans and goals with them make them feel bit more experienced and pleasure that organization considers their valuable ideas and opinions.
(b) Work Environment
Today's workforce looks for flexibility on the job. The best employees are; who always work efficiently, result oriented and flexible to work any time and any where and obviously due to this qualities only we try to retain them. Allowing efficient employees to work in flexible time or give a flexible workplace will not at all affect the results or tasks given to achieve. Flexible working hours are now becoming a common tool to attract new and retain existing employees.
(c) Work Challenges
The old system of monitoring and directing the each and every task that an employee should perform is now over. Employees with multiple skills and talent take challenges and achieve any goal within a prescribed time using new methods of work completion. Provide additional opportunities to learn and to develop their skills. Encourage the staff to undergo with coaching or training to perform more efficiently than before.
(d) Appreciation
Showing genuine appreciation is simple to feel good the employee for his work performance.Appreciation is the strongest tool to motivate the employee to keep consistent their performance towards organization.There are some ways to show the appreciation saying "thanks for doing a good job", "we highly appreciate you", "you have done a great job", can encourage employees to do better their job.
(e) Rewards
Reward the employees timely for their hard work. Rewards are not always in the monetary terms but the facilities, amenities or leverage can also work. It can be low cost and high impact strategy as a compensation package.Employee who perform outstanding should receive special rewards. It can be in the form of organizing dinner party for his family, sponsoring 2 days on picnic, give donation in an employee's name to any charity, organizing a small fun party to celebrate his success any many more things to do. This small things impacts largely on the employee's point of view.
(f) Explain clear performance metrics and provide regular feedback
Establish a defined measure to evaluate the employee's participation and contribution in achieving business goals.Review the performance on regular basis and acknowledge them for their good work. Performance reviews is good opportunity to discuss their further goals and obtain input from them on involvement for organizational and personal development as well.
