The "workplace seesaw" also know as employee turnover has become
an increasingly recurring part of daily life, with data suggesting 1 in 4
Americans will quit their job by the end of 2022.
Employees come and go, things change, and the fit may not be right. It costs
a business tens of thousands of dollars to double the salary of an
employee.
Employee turnover is a serious problem. To prevent it, employers should
abide these ways to reduce employee turnover.
Hiring smart is crucial to reducing employee turnover. A data-driven
approach to hiring helps you find the best people for the job, and by doing so,
reduces hiring costs, increases experiences with prospective employees, and
overall improves the quality pool from which you hire.
Rewarding employees can take many forms, including monetary, time off,
gifts, or some sort of unique personal incentive. Donation matching is a great
way to reward employees while also rewarding great causes in the
community.
Balancing the work-life boundary is becoming an increasingly important
factor for employees. It is important to balance work-life balance because
employees, especially millennials and Gen Z, are choosing to prioritize their
work-life balance.
Employers that offer competitive salaries and benefits packages have happier
employees. These employees will stay, and a benefit package that offers avocado
toast or ping pong tables will do the same.
Showing respect is a two-way street; respect from management and employees
is crucial to creating a good work atmosphere. It is important to keep a
professional attitude and to be open to employees' ideas.
More companies are offering remote work options as well as hybrid work
options. According to a report, 32 million Americans will be working remotely
by 2025, and job seekers are increasingly interested in remote jobs.
The onboarding process makes an employee feel welcomed, informed, aware of
the workplace culture and values, and make them feel at ease in their new
environment. Good onboarding can lead to lower rates of employee
turnover.
Millennials and Gen Z employees are choosing to prioritize their health and
happiness over pay or job security. Reducing employee turnover can be a lot
simpler than it seems and will help you become a good "People
Company".
