ATTRACTING EMPLOYEES

5 Ways You Can Help Attract And Retain Employees

Employees from retail to the corporate sphere have had to take serious stock of their professional and personal lives within these past two years , and many have gone through major upheavals within their careers , even switching industries altogether .

Let ’ s break down how you can attract and retain both new and existing employees .
1 . PROVIDE ROBUST BENEFITS AND HEALTHCARE
Offering a strong health insurance and benefits plan — in conjunction with other motivating factors — may inspire your employee to stay on board or it may be the deciding factor for a scrupulous candidate for a new role your team is looking to fill .
2 . IMPLEMENT A STRONG ONBOARDING PROCEDURE
A warm onboarding process with a carefully planned itinerary conducted by a member of HR or a member of the executive team can make all the difference to new hires .
3 . ENCOURAGE EMPLOYEE GROWTH
It ’ s critical to prioritize investment in courses , training modules , and conferences . New skills not only benefit you as the employer — as your team will consistently be acquiring new skills — but it can motivate ambitious team members eager to grow within the company .
4 . COMMUNICATE AND COLLABORATE
Communication is essential for maintaining morale among employees , be they remote or in-office .
Regular team meetings , frequent brainstorming sessions , a clear workflow procedure , and consistent one-on-ones with team members are crucial for positive communication .
5 . ENCOURAGE REMOTE WORK WHERE RELEVANT
It ’ s clear now that many jobs can be performed at home effectively while improving employee quality of life , and that office work has been irrevocably changed .
Allowing employees to work from home fosters a sense of trust and respect that your team can get the job done whether it ’ s at home or in the office . This is a powerful way to retain employees . +
