An important part of running a successful business is keeping valued team members. Without them you have to search for new employees and find others to fill the shoes of the valued members who have recently resigned from your company. The best way to keep your valued team members onboard is to develop an employee retention strategy which will keep your employees happy, reducing the chance of them going elsewhere.
Recognize the warning signs that an employee may be looking elsewhere for employment. Warning signs include being impatient, not engaging with others, taking extra time off or venting negative feelings to others. Try to understand why your employee is feeling this way and aim to fix the problems. In many cases, unhappiness at work involves not feeling appreciated or having enough compensation for the work they do.
Talk to those you feel are no longer happy working for you. Ask simple questions to try and find out how things are going and if there is anything you can do to improve things. Immediately take care of any issues which may be causing problems for an employee.
Make your company a place where employees want to work. Instill a decent compensation package and recognition program. Being proactive and preventing situations where employees become unhappy is the best employee retention strategy you can have.
