Leadership Tips That Can Help Reduce Unnecessary Turnover

Employee turnover is one of the biggest challenges many companies face. It costs money to hire and train a new employee. Constant turnover can damage team cohesion. And open positions can leave your current team members feeling exhausted and overwhelmed as they try to cover the workload. You can’t end employee turnover altogether. However, following a few simple tips can help you retain more employees in the long run.

Balance the Team

Corporate culture can be one of the biggest factors in employees’ decision to stay or move on. Ensure you’re hiring only people who truly “fit”—with the mission, vision, projects, and overall feel of your organization. If you have anyone who is truly a problem employee, that simply hasn’t been able to become part of the team despite your best efforts, consider whether it’s time to let them go.

Reward Your Employees

It should go without saying that you won’t hold onto quality employees if you don’t regularly revisit compensation and benefits packages. But beyond those elements, find ways to provide recognition and rewards for their accomplishments in real-time. Gift cards for individual achievements and pizza lunches or team-building activities for hitting group milestones are just a couple of ways to show your appreciation.

Find Flexibility

Anything you can do to improve work-life balance can be a valuable investment in employee retention. Whether it’s work-from-home options, flexible scheduling, or unlimited PTO, companies that offer flexibility are more likely to attract and retain top-quality workers.

Offer Employee Development

No matter how great your company might be, no one wants to do the same thing day in and day out forever. Find opportunities to develop your employees and offer them paths to advancement. If you don’t believe in them, why would they believe in you?

Create a Culture of Respect

People want to stay where they feel respected, and many have a low tolerance for drama. Build a culture that stresses openness and honesty, while valuing diversity and multiple points of view. When employees feel seen, heard, and valued, they are more likely to openly discuss any issues that they face rather than simply walking out the door.
