Want To Reduce Turnover?

What is your problem? You should continuously be asking this question. If you don't know what your problems are, your company will continue to struggle with higher than acceptable turnover. To adequately and appropriately answer the question, you must recognize that the question isn't really about you, it's about your employees. How are you influencing your employees abilities to get their work done in as effective and efficient a manner possible?

The ball might be in your court now, you may have what seems like an endless supply of qualified applicants ready to take over when an employee leaves; but this will not always be. The time is now, to prepare for change. Failure to focus on turnover reduction will significantly impact the viability of your organization.

Your employees are individuals. There is more to them than meets the eye. Are you digging beneath the surface? Be a gold digger. Gold does not sit on the surface, you must dig for it. If you're confused at how to dig, simply ask for the shovel. Ask. The fact alone that you are interested in them, as an individual, will entice them to make digging easier for you. Also, remember that while your needs are of high concern and priority, they are not your sole, and often even most important, concern and/or priority.

Start with an Employee Satisfaction Survey... Here's One For You
