Your Best Employee Retention Strategy...Intentional Culture

  • Importance of Culture: Establishing a strong company culture is crucial for retention. A positive culture that values good management, clear expectations, and employee involvement in decision-making leads to better retention.

  • Right People in Right Seats: Ensuring that employees are well-suited to their roles enhances job satisfaction. Coaching up or out is necessary to maintain an effective team.

  • Team Building: Effective team building goes beyond traditional activities like movie outings; it involves engaging activities that foster real connections. Relationships at work, particularly having a work friend, significantly increase retention.

  • Onboarding Experience: A solid onboarding process makes a significant first impression. Pre-onboarding actions like care packages can help sell the job and the company culture to potential hires.

  • Growth Plans: Employees should see a clear path for career development within the company. Even in small companies, showing a trajectory of growth and improvement is key.

  • Mentorship: Every employee should have access to a mentor within the organization to guide them through challenges and provide advice.

  • Communication and Meetings: Regular, effective communication through well-structured meetings helps in addressing issues, solving problems, and maintaining accountability, which high performers appreciate.

  • Financial Incentives: While not the sole motivator, competitive compensation and sharing financial success, like profit sharing or bonus plans, are important for employee satisfaction.
