How can you reduce turnover?

1. Take proactive steps to ensure new hires are good behavioral fits with your team.

2. Develop and communicate a strategic plan and share it with your team. Everyone wants to feel that their work has meaning and purpose.

3. Understand what your culture means to your employees. You see it one way, but how do they see it? Conduct a quick poll to see who knows your company's mission, vision, and values. Are they bragging about where they work?

How can we help?

If you are too busy to start any of these, are frustrated by your problems, but haven't given up, then consider outside help. Schedule a demonstration to see how:

1. The Predictive Index software can both make the hiring process easier and gives you a better selection of high-performing candidates.

2. “A strategy on a page” delivers accountability at every level and a clear sense of priorities.

3. A unified culture, values, and behaviors can raise productivity, reduce turnover, and make your environment exceptional.

Why not wait and see what happens?

1. More work

Pushing more work on your plate or on your team has a direct effect on whether someone else will consider leaving. If you decide to take on extra responsibility, then it takes away from the amount of time you put in to crucial soft skill areas of team building. If your team picks up the extra work, then can feel burdened, unhappy and ready to look for a new position. Moreover, they know their ex-team member now has a more lucrative role.

2. Lost Expertise

Experts say it takes about 2 years to become full familiar with a new role and organization. This requires a considerable investment of your time and HR time to get the new person up to speed. This all costs money and which leads to point three.

3. Lost Revenue for you and the company

At a personal level, consider how losing a team member will affect your ability to hit quotas and bonuses. At an organizational level there will be an effect on customer service and satisfaction which can have long-term consequences.

Adding it all up

The form below allows you to determine how much money is lost when someone quits.

How do you increase employee retention?

Employees are not going to stay in a job because you pay them a good wage, they stay because they feel part of something meaningful. There are many other employers who have open positions and will pay them more or offer a more prestigious title.
