Manager Coaching/Training Process
Employee retention and absenteeism strategies don’t have to be complicated or expensive. What’s needed is to identify the key personal/emotional drivers important to employees that generate positive emotions about their career and ensure their work experience is rewarding. Once determined, managers can then take the actions necessary to ensure employees have an enjoyable, rewarding and fulfilling work experience. The result, employees enjoy and look forward to coming to work.
There are two fundamental keys to improving retention and absenteeism: Compensation and Non-Compensation factors (both are important factors in retention strategies to secure lengthy tenure from their talented employees)
- Compensation: All business organizations need to offer competitive and attractive compensation packages (wages, salary, incentives and bonuses, a full benefit plan, stock options, education assistance, health and wellness programs, etc) . These all have significant impact on your organization’s ability to recruit and retain the top talent needed to help your business grow and succeed. Yet, salary and compensation packages must be limited or controlled to remain fiscally viable. Support Article
- Secondly, organizations must create rewarding work experiences for employees. This includes helping to facilitate key engagement drivers, enhancing their career experience by understanding and supporting key personal needs and building career development plans that enable them to achieve career goals.
Ensure Your Managers and Leaders are Helping Employee Retention Efforts/Improvements Not Hurting Them!
Our business is built on one simple premise: If employees find fulfilment and enjoyment in their work and have a career development plan that meets their interests and goals, they will take less sick days and be much less inclined to search for alternate careers.
