Employee turnover happens to the best of companies and some staff changes can’t be helped, however, there are some steps you can take to keep the talent you’ve hired from choosing to leave your company. One of the top priorities for maintaining staff is to create and promote a positive work environment that promotes communication, diversity, and respect. This kind of culture helps build camaraderie, and teamwork and instigates the feeling of value and a low-stress atmosphere.
Part of this positive and intentional environment fosters the opportunity for employees to give honest feedback through one-on-one meetings or surveys. Taking steps based on the input that is received is also important to incorporate in taking necessary actions for improvements. This will also show your employees that they are being heard and that what they suggest or experience matters to you.
Another component of the teamwork and communication culture in the workplace is recognition. You can significantly boost morale and productivity through the acknowledgment of benchmarks and excellent performance.
