Strategies to Retain Top Talent

Posted

Your company probably has a few top performers you count on to help the organization remain competitive. These people excel at their jobs and inspire everyone around them to do their best work. In fact, your team would be lost without them, so treat them very well, because you need them, more than they need you.

5 Ways to Retain Top Talent

Want to make sure your best employees don’t look elsewhere for new opportunities? Use the following five techniques to retain them:

  1. Promote From Within: There’s nothing more discouraging than being passed up for a promotion by an external candidate — especially when you have the skills to excel at the position. Keep top talent happy by helping them grow their career at your company, so they don’t need to look elsewhere to take the next step.
  2. Pay a Competitive Salary: Mediocre employees are often so happy to have a job that they’re willing to accept a not-so-competitive salary, but that won’t work with the best and brightest. These people know exactly what they’re worth and if you’re not willing to pay it, they’ll find a company that’s more than happy to do so.
  3. Choose Outstanding Managers: The people you choose to lead your organization have the power to either help your best employees thrive or send them running to another company. Remember, people don’t leave jobs — they leave bad managers.
  4. Keep Employees Engaged: Your most talented employees need to be constantly challenged to keep them interested in their jobs. They want to come to work each day and feel like they’re making a difference. Listen to their ideas and let them take risks to make their jobs truly fulfilling.
  5. Offer Great Perks: Provide your employees with generous perks that make their work life even better. There are countless ways to achieve this, regardless of the size of your budget. A few examples include generous vacation time, 100 percent paid health insurance premiums, free pizza on Fridays, flexible working conditions, discounted gym memberships and so much more!
