Employee Retention

Do you want to help your employees stay longer, be happier and feel valued? Inviting feedback in the right way can increase job satisfaction and help your leaders reach their goals.

Have you ever been in a leadership meeting when the word "morale" is mentioned and everyone looks at you? Recognizing employees for work well done is a rewarding and important part of HR.

Implementing an effective employee recognition program can improve retention, employee satisfaction, production quality, finances, work ethic, company culture, morale, and even more. Let's look at how and why to create an employee recognition program, even on a small budget.

You spend a lot of time and effort to recruit and hire the right people for the right job—only to have them leave after a couple of months. Or perhaps you lose long-term employees who take great skills and knowledge with them. Either way, turnover is expensive and frustrating.

Let's explore what employee retention is, why it is important, how to measure it, and how to start an employee retention program.
