Fight High Turnover Rates
Keep Your Strongest Employees From Walking Out The Door
Not only does identifying, recruiting, hiring, developing, and retaining the right talent require significant time and resources, it is one of the key differentiators found in high-performing teams and organizations.
Teams with reduced employee turnover develop a deep familiarity with the goals and objectives of the organization. They often become personally invested in the success of the team and company. By focusing on the skills and practices that maximize hiring efficiency and minimize employee turnover, managers promote employee retention and build stronger teams.
Reducing Employee Turnover Can Benefit Your Company in the Following Ways:
Reducing financial strain
Hiring and onboarding a replacement can cost up to 150% the yearly salary of the employee who is being replaced. In addition to these costs, the work that other team members need to take on increases, which slows growth, and decreases quality of performance.
Increase commitment vs. compliance
It takes time to get new team members on board with the ultimate goals and objectives of the organization. This is far easier with long-standing teams who hold each other accountable. Decreasing employee turnover helps employees increase their trust with one another, and also decreases miscommunication due to unfamiliarity.
Reduces loss of connections, information, and experience
When someone leaves an organization, these things leave with them. When you lose an employee who has been around for a long time, you are also losing their relationships, built-up skills, and depth of knowledge pertaining to the position. These are important assets that can never be fully replaced, and can be preserved through high employee retention.
