Retaining Great Employees
Adding new employees to your team can be a very positive experience. New hires are sources
of fresh ideas and often offer innovative approaches to how you work. They can breathe life
into a stagnant team and prompt other teammates to work harder. That said, if you’re stuck
in a revolving door of turnover, the negatives far outweigh the positives of bringing new
people on board.
You likely are familiar with at least some of the downsides of high turnover. Among those:
- It’s expensive.
- It kills productivity.
- It damages morale.
- It causes a ripple effect.
- It hurts business.
Those problems typically come up when people discuss turnover. The focus is almost always
on how it hurts organizations. What people don’t talk about enough is what it feels like for
a manager—you—to lose an employee. It’s a pain.
As a manager, so much is under your control. Even when your organization doesn’t offer
the highest salary, lavish perks or over-the-top benefits, you can keep your best employees
on board simply by being a great supervisor. In Retaining Great Employees: Tactics for
Hanging On to Your Best Talent, you’ll learn steps that you—the manager—can take to ensure
that your employees are engaged, happy and in it for the long haul.
