Employee Retention Strategy

Six Steps to Creating a High Retention Workplace

img

Get Ready, Here It Comes Again

Despite economic changes, the issue of employee retention is here to stay. The labor shortage that plagued employers at the height of the economic boom has not vanished. It may be off the radar now, but it is returning strong as ever.

Successful organizations realize employee retention is integral to sustaining their leadership and growth in the marketplace. Most businesses focus on employee retention when employee turnover starts to increase. However, good organizations make employee retention a core element of their talent management and organizational development strategy. Those that fail to make employee retention a priority are at risk of losing their top talented people to the competition.

What are you going to do? What is your strategy in preventing valuable employees from leaving?

Consider the following driving forces.

Job Defections – The Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM) and the Wall Street Journal website completed the Job Recovery Survey in September 2003. The key findings revealed 64 percent of employees said they were extremely likely to begin or increase the intensity of their job search. An additional 19 percent said they were somewhat likely to increase their search.

Skill Shortage – Many industries already experience major shortages of talent. For example, the healthcare industry suffers from a nurse shortage, and now is importing nurses from other countries. This places a burden on employers to provide the best place to work possible to attract and retain key staff.

Our employee retention strategy is easy to implement and provides you the six steps you need to adopt in establishing an effective retention strategy.

  • Assess the organization.
  • Hold people accountable.
  • Measure what is important.
  • Increase employee ownership and involvement.
  • Build relationships and create a positive first impression.
  • Devise intervention strategies.

Employee Retention Workshop

Valuable Retention Tools

Tool #1: Pre-Program Consultation

Greg will custom design this program and meet your needs. We invite you to visit with us before the workshop starts. We’ll chat for a moment, get more acquainted, and discuss your objectives. All you have to do is call Greg's office (770-860-9464) and set up a phone appointment. We’ll talk for about 30 minutes. And I promise, your questions will get answered. We’ll answer your questions on the phone, include the answers in the seminar material, or one-on-one at the seminar.

Tool #2: Employee Retention Workbook

Seminar participants are often stunned at how much they learn. They say they learn far more than they can implement. We will provide more material than you will be able to write down -- let alone remember. When you show up for the retention workshop you will receive a manual covering everything Greg says including extra material you can use after the seminar to keep you on the road to greater success. The manual includes valuable forms and checklists to get your retention program off and running. It includes sample surveys and assessments to assist you. The manual is valued at $125, but as a participant, it’s yours—FREE.

Tool #3: Post Workshop Coaching

In addition to our professional speaking schedules, we take on a few clients who want some serious, targeted coaching and advice. They want to get ahead, and they want to do it as quickly as possible. It’s a powerful process and one that everyone should use once in a while. So you’re also going to get an hour of FREE coaching from us after the workshop. We don’t want you to leave with any questions unanswered, and we want to help you apply what you learn. We want to make sure you succeed in achieving your goals. We’ll give you a coaching certificate you can redeem at your convenience. All you do is call Greg's office and set up a phone appointment. Email your questions in advance, or provide a brief scenario of your situation. We’ll go from there.

Tool #4: Communication Behavior Report

Our most popular and multi-purpose assessment. It is designed to increase personal effectiveness, improve communication, reduce conflict, and help identify top talent. Can be used for hiring and development. This report provides a detailed analysis of the individual's strengths, value to the organization, work style and an action plan worksheet. These reports bring you the HIGHEST VALIDITY and PREDICTABILITY on the market today!
