Share This Post

Organizations always have a hard time retaining great employees. They see the same cycle repeat over and over again: an energetic new employee comes on productive and full of new ideas for several months, but after the first eighteen months the employee stops taking initiative, their attendance and reliability changes and their work quality suffers.

Competitive salaries

Open communication

Encourage paid time off

Training/development opportunities

Encourage Feedback

Listen to employees

Thank your team
