6 Ways to Retain the Strong Team You Built

6/11/2018

When we think about why employees leave (better yet, why they stay), one motivator usually comes to mind: Compensation.  And while pay and benefits are key to recruiting and retaining your employees, there are plenty of other ways to build and keep a strong team. 
 
  
Random Acts of Appreciation
 
Professional Administrative Assistant’s day is every reason to celebrate all that they do for you.  A few random acts of appreciation might make an impact. An unexpected thank you note or an occasional sweet treat on an employee’s desk can go a long way. 
 
One-on-One Time
 
Annual reviews are not enough. Periodic one on ones with your employees encourages communication and valuable feedback, before minor issues become serious problems.
 
Responsibility
 
Employees need to be to be trusted, give them responsibilities that will allow for them to learn new skill sets and develop new ideas.  Let them know that you are invested in them by supporting continuing education and promoting within.
 
Respect
 
Showing respect for your employees can go a long way in retaining the cream of the crop. You can create a confident, productive, and passionate team by encouraging a respectful environment.
 
Flexibility
 
Providing even a small level of flexibility to employees can make a significant difference in work/life balance.  It might mean flexible scheduling or the occasional work from home day.  A positive outlook on work/life balance can greatly impact employee morale.
 
 
Have a Little Fun!
 
Go for an occasional team lunch together.  Have a Halloween pumpkin carving contest.  Make ice cream sundaes on a hot Tucson day.  It doesn’t require a lot of time or money to allow your team to take a breather and have some fun together.
 
Remember, there is much more than pay and benefits that help retain a good team.  Create a work environment that feels impossible to leave!
