In the last five years Cheap Nike Air Force 1 UK Online , employee turnover has increased by more than 25 percent. Recent studies reveal that at any one time, one third of employees plan to resign within the next two years. Successive surveys in the UK of employee turnover show that in retailing, hotels and restaurants, call centers and other lower paid groups turnover is often in excess of 50% per annum.
Why is this happening?
Since the late 1980s when organizations began to downsize to reduce costs Cheap Nike Air Force 1 UK Sale , employees got the message that everyone was expendable. When organizations cut back a little too much there were always other willing recruits to join. Other processes which historically reinforced the employeeemployer ?contract?, such as training and development and succession planning, were also cut back. The security of life time employment was gone and individuals learnt that 'making their own way? meant managing their own career first and foremost. This often meant leaving the organization to get ahead and today the most common reason people leave is to seek promotion outside the organization (53%).
What to do about it
No single retention strategy will work across a diverse organization as each group of employees will have different retention issues. For instance, clerical workers may well need to feel they are ?being treated with respect?. Management may be 'looking for opportunity for advancement?. Here are some guidelines:-
1. Manage entry into the organisation
A great deal of employee turnover consists of people resigning or being dismissed in the first few months of employment. Even if people stay for a year or more Cheap Nike Air Force 1 Shoes UK , they may well have decided to leave based on their first few weeks in the job. To aid retention, give prospective employees a realistic job preview at the recruitment stage. Don't overstate the requirements of the role but give a true representation - warts and all. During the first few critical weeks make line managers accountable for ensuring new joiners are taken through a well planned induction process.
2. Develop potential
It may be stating the obvious but high potential employees need opportunities to develop and stretch. New job assignments, cross functional moves, profit and loss responsibility Cheap Nike Air Force 1 Kids UK , and a chance to lead a new business activity all send out the message that we value your input and are prepared to invest in your future. Organizations which drive their employees into the ground to deliver short term targets risk damage long term.
Maximise the impact of training by making sure it is relevant to the job otherwise employees will feel that they are wasting their time. Use training to expand experience and support forward promotion.
3. Communicate
This takes two forms. Research undertaken by the Hay Group shows that a major 'dissatisfier? which contributes to employee turnover is a lack of clarity about company direction and strategy. Therefore, to increase retention, make sure all managers in the business are communicating the company mission, vision and strategy at every possible opportunity.
Secondly Cheap Nike Air Force 1 Mens UK , communication is two way. Ensure wherever possible that employees have a ?voice? to provide feedback back to the organization via discussion forums, attitude surveys and grievance systems. Where there is no opportunity to voice dissatisfaction, resigning feels like the only option.
4. Reward good management
Reward managers whose record at retaining people is good by including the measure in performance appraisals. Use competencies or other behavioral measures to provide feedback to managers who demonstrate good listening skills, excellent coaching and who give effective feedback. Train line managers in these skills before appointing or promoting them in to leadership roles
5. Tackle underperformance
Studies have shown that many people leave their jobs because they are unhappy with their boss. Individuals respect organizations that are prepared to tackle underperformance head on. Weed out marginal performers in the management ranks.
Finally Cheap Nike Air Force 1 Womens UK , defend your organization against penetration by headhunters and others seeking to poach your staff.
