Attracting and hiring top talent is just the first step in building an effective workforce. The hardest part is retaining the best and brightest employees. The most skilled and innovative team members have no end of opportunities on the job market, so it's vital that companies put in the work to prevent them from looking for bigger and better opportunities with competing organisations. Here are four ways that companies can hold onto their best team members in 2023. 

 

Our guest blog by Charlotte Green, Founder at Specific Learning & Coaching Ltd, a specialist learning agency that use The Specific Method, which is a blend of insight, training, coaching and mentoring to develop leaders explains what you can do to improve your retention levels and become known as a ‘great place to work’ through implementing a successful employee onboarding process. 

 

 

Implementing standardised operational checklists and templated documents as simple as it sounds, enables key people to follow a process through the cross-functional areas of your business and offers important support and a step-by-step approach that is clear and easy to understand. Imagine the overload of information within the 3 6 and 12 week period. 

 

Make sure your communication is clear. Some people who were furloughed from the outset have been off work for 3 months and for them time in the work place has stood. They may expect to return to exactly the same way of working as pre-lockdown and will certainly not understand exactly how the business and your way of working may have changed. Take time to explain what “business as usual” now looks like the changes that have been implemented and why these changes have happened. A clear redefinition of their role responsibilities will also help them to understand “now” as well as focussing on health & safety and any new policies and procedures you may have introduced.
