5 rules to improve employee retention: a check list
A LinkedIn question: Do you know any tricks to improve employee retention?
Improving retention does not require trickery. These five rules appear to be simple, but they require a lot of thought and hard work. If your managerial mindset is "Command-and-Control," these rules may require complete re-thinking of the manager-employee relationship.
1. Listen to your staff and consider that they may have a valuable perspective on issues and problems.
2. Respect your staff.
3. Don't play favorites.
4. Be honest about possibilities for promotion and/or increased compensation.
5. If there is no path for advancement and no possibility of more money, you are left with providing a workplace that challenges your staff, and allows them to improve their skills. Even then, they may leave.
