how to retain your employees

[Salahmu]

whether the company is small or big, if the employees are given as many opportunities as possible, then it is good for the company. Because an employee will work under pressure and may perform his duties as much as he can, but if he has love for the company, then he will do the right thing  and he will always want that the company does not suffer any harm. He will always work for his organization with a good attitude.

Good expertise is what drives retaining an employee or someone who came for an internship, in my country based on the courses some persons study they are sent for an Internship on a company so that they will no what there study does in practical, so from there good expertise of learning and adaptation they became someone the company or the business would definitely need in the future, so they need not to do more study about the person but to retain him. Some quality company see before retaining is how the employees perform on the company.

No creativity is needed to know how to retain employees, it is a matter of common sense, offering a healthy work environment and workplace, fair salary, incentives, bonuses for good performance, understanding the needs of employees, treatment based on respect, it really is very simple.

Everything you said is true. Retaining employees is indeed very simple. But I want to add something that's easy and inexpensive. For example you must recognize your employees' contributions. Research shows that many employees don't feel their superiors appreciate their contributions, which can lead to premature resignation.

When you reward your employees it shows you value their work and understand that each person's contribution has a significant impact on the success of your business. This in turn impacts employees making them more motivated and productive at work.

I would like to ask a personal question about when an entrepreneur should look for employees. What is the right way to retain them and keep them interested in your company? I appreciate creative and abstract ideas.

What makes other companies stand out among their peers is the close relationship they've build with their employees and you can possibly keep them to your end by indulging them in activities that seems different from the rest, and mind you their income enlargement would really spell out alot to them. Sometimes giving them special treat would be cool cause they are at your service and trying to give out the best they can for you to grow bigger, so taking special time to converse and chat with them will definitely create an atmosphere of comfort and proves they are valued.

Most of the simple things are difficult to do in reality but any one with good conscience should know that these things are not to be taking for granted because of workers do not have access to this things they will be trying different places that would suit them and the environment is one of the ways to retain your staff. Treat your workers well and see how well they will carry the company and protect it because they know that their sources of income comes from there but when they are poorly treated you see them running around looking for other good places to apply.

A company needs employees only when that company thinks that if it hires employees there, then their condition can be made better. To retain employees in your company and to make them interested in your company and to get better performance from employees, what you have to do is to treat employees with friendliness and praise their work as well as provide bonuses and various facilities for their better performance. To get better returns from employees, it is very important to treat employees with friendliness and keep the employees in good spirits.

One thing I learned from being an employee for the longest time, if you want to make your employees stay longer on you, ensure that aside of having good compensation, bonuses and benefits, that they will also grow in your own company. Conduct workshops and seminars that will keep their excitement, and keep learning new things for constant growth, that way they won't feel the boredom since you give them opportunities to grow mentally, emotionally, spiritually and even financially.  If you can perform that, it will be hard for them to find better employer than you, except if they decide to have their own business, you can't really stop them.

[Makus]

One of the mistake that most employers make is that they don't take the payment of their employees seriously. some of them use salaries meant for workers to invest in other things and some prolong payments unjustly. if it's the end of the month as an employer you must pay your workers unfailingly on that day instead of adding extra days because this is something that frustrates people and also gives you a bad name, your business can't grow and you can't retain good employees if you continue paying salaries at a late period. it is very important that you maintain a good reputation because this is what is going to get you competent workers

The most simplest way to retain employees and make them like the job they are doing is when you pay them with good salary and treat them nicely. Some people don't condon insults when you are trying to prove to them that you are the boss instead of you trying to be frank about what you do without camouflage your altitude. When you have employees you employed and you are giving them incentives for their good works, you might be surprised that everyone will be busy about their work trying to do good job and get incentives too.

Some staff will still not be comfortable no matter how much you pay them and how nice you rest them it they do not have the chances of stealing from you, I'm not against giving your staff good pay and making the working environment very ok for them but everything you do shouldn't be excessive because they can see it as a means of stealing when those kind gestures stops coming and may decide to steal from you before moving to a different company where they will continue working after stealing form you. Everyone should get paid and incentives added to them but it should be based on merit so that they will be willing to work to earn it.

They will stay when they find a reason to stay, so give them one.

By thinking from the perspective of the employee the employer can find out what they want. To do so, the team leaders need to identify what a specific employee needs and provide that through the company if possible, only then they will retain.

Like for someone with special needs, make sure they are attended properly. By giving them the comfort of what they want, they are likely to not leave.

The truth about this findings is that every employee tends to behave according to move of operations but one thing is certain if the watch tactics and guides are not in place to check the activities and well informed aspects of employee, they might likely play down the value of the company or employer to other junk styles within the premises. Tell them what to do and love them for doing it, they'll stay.

I agree to that statement, it's tough to provide those priviledges just to maintain good connection with your employee but like what you both mentioned, if you able to provide then the employee will no longer look for any drive to find new place to work, it's an incentives that mostly owners needs to embrace it's for the betterment of his business and for a long term drive so there's no need to find a new employee to train again and start from the scratch and will do the same thing when they already equipped with knowledge that they acquired from your business.

You're right. Being too kind can lead to them having bad intentions, such as exploiting others. Therefore, we must be able to discern the kind of people we'll be working with. Even if we can't know them from the start, we should at least observe them as closely as possible. Furthermore, we don't know what's going on in their minds, and some people will change when presented with money or an opportunity they perceive as good.

Paying them according to their performance is reasonable, but I don't deny that some bosses are kind to their employees, but that's because their employees are good at their work, responsible, and trustworthy. As the saying goes, "A nation doesn't lack smart people, but it lacks honest people."

You're trying to present kindness as some kind of naive weakness and it's really just that it's bad risk management. Those are different problems altogether. Being kind does not mean being stupid about it. You can be decent to people without having no boundaries. The issue is when people mistake being kind with having no standards or expectations. You can pay fairly, treat people well AND still fire someone who's not performing. These are not contradictory unless you make them that way.

Someone that'd screw you over for cash would likely screw you over for other things too. You just didn't see it yet, because the opportunity didn't present itself. The stakes were too low to be of any consequence.

The performance pay thing is more tricky than you're making it sound. What counts as performance? How do you quantify trust/responsibility? Because the minute you try, people optimize for the metric, rather than the actual work. Then you get employees that look a lot good on paper but in practice are a waste of time. Happens all the time in all industries I can think of.

And that saying about honest people - sure, honesty is a rarity. But perhaps that's because we've created economies that penalise doing so? When being honest means that you lose opportunities to people who are willing to lie, you're not selecting for honesty. You're only selecting for those who can fake it best. Which seems like just the opposite of what anyone wants.

Sometimes employers are more cruel than we imagine, pretending to need the company, forcing employees to stay without caring about the situation. The most humane way is to always maintain the welfare of employees, because if their welfare is not guaranteed, employees can sometimes become corrupt. In other words, when their livelihoods are secure, they will also be more loyal to the company.

And if your business is still small, the main thing that must be strengthened is a strong emotional bond. When your business is still small, it is impossible for you to pay them a large salary. In situations like this, it is possible that monthly salary payments may be delayed, and without a strong emotional bond, it will be difficult for you to retain your employees. However, with the right approach and open communication, it will foster a sense of mutual respect and belonging, and in difficult situations, solutions can sometimes come from within the "employees."

[Fiasem20]

School them, treat them well and pay better than most.
Explain why you do certain things.

Well, sometimes employees are not attached to their employers because they received a huge amount of money as salary. What matters to most of them is value, self respect and how much they worth. Money is not always the solution to our problems. No matter how little you paid them, some will not bother about it, as long as you are being kind, polite, humble, truthful, generous and respectful to them. But even when they received a huge amount of money as salary, and the employers are rude to them nothing will make them develop interest for the job. Is not just about money, its depend on the kind of bound they shared.

Exactly the point,good pay doesn’t really matter to most workers.Bad attitude of employers have chased their employees away,I’m speaking from experience anyways.Years back I worked for an individual,and this person turned out to be extremely strict and due the strictness of the individual,it got almost all the workers bothered and wanting to quit the job including me.Strictness isn’t discipline,rather discipline is also a way to show love,love and respect your employees in other to retain them.Inasmuch as they’re being respectful to you as a boss you ought to reciprocate same respect because respect is reciprocal.

To retain employees, you need to understand the needs of employees. And in the case of employee selection, you need to select someone who is in great need of that job. If you give him some good opportunities and value him, then that employee is ready to do anything for you. But if you treat him badly and look down on him, he will work but not with focus and he can leave you anytime if he has good skills.

No body is interested in working for a mean boss so you should be the opposite of that, and while you are recruiting them make sure to be a cheerful person that wears a smile always. During holiday season like Christmas make sure to give them gifts as holiday bonus to make them happy, be a boss that can communicate with your employees and try to understand their needs. Being kind to your employees doesn't mean that you will forget your position as the boss, be kind but don't allow them to abuse your kindness and lastly always pay your workers well so that they will be happy to work for you even in the future.

You have just state it all, if a boss can possess this characters you listed here then it is assured that the employees will be retained because this are the characteristics of a good boss. And also healthy work environment is very important, because you can have a qualifications of a good boss but the work environment can make employees to start looking for a more suitable place. So retaining employees does not only have to do with fair salary and bonuses and others, the place where the company is matters alot because no one would want to work in an un-conducive environment so this aspect of environment need to be taking care of.

A good business owner shows should have the quality that will make his employee not to go away, for a business to move fast you really have to get a supporting hand because the owner of the business cannot do it alone. The easier way I think you can retain your employee is to be kind to them, show them love, show them you care and all this should be in reality, If all this is being carried out there will equally reciprocate towards you, and this will affect your business positively. But you have to let them understand that all these behavior of yours should not be take for granted, because your goal is to make profit and if that is not there they kindness also will cease.
