How Can You Start Investing In Employee Retention Right Now?
Employee retention is a more pressing issue than ever as companies have to grapple with the cost and time of hiring new workers. Those who start to invest in their retention strategies, emphasizing compassion, growth, and leadership trust, will find themselves winning the war for talent.
Organizations usually give managers and People teams a certain amount of power to drive productivity, but we should also give them the agency to support their people in a robust way. Often, these leaders worry that they won’t drive productivity or will seem inequitable. Encourage leadership to lead with compassion by instituting policies that encourage it and providing them with the direction they need to support their team. One of the best ways to support workers and reduce attrition is by providing employee coaching at all levels.
“Giving our employees access to professional coaches that can hear and help them from a neutral place is an empowering way to move their careers forward. Bravely is a personal extension to the best of People teams for employees.”
— Michelle Wagner, Chief People Officer at Mindstrong
