What do today’s employees see as their
primary workplace needs and
what can managers do about it?

Have you ever wondered what makes a good company great? It's the people. The challenge, then, is retaining and developing satisfied, committed employees.

Several years ago, we couldn’t have written about retention as a current business issue. Layoffs, outsourcing and more were the call of the day. But the tables have turned and now, keeping your good people, your winners, is a major concern to many top businesses.

Employee Retention is one of the primary measures of the health of your organization. If you are losing critical staff members, you can safely bet that other people in their departments are looking as well. It obviously requires a competitive salary and great benefits. However, retention of your best requires a whole lot more.

The reasons for working are as individual as the person. But, we all work because we obtain something that we need from work.Some work for personal fulfillment. Others like to accomplish goals and feel as if they are contributing to something larger than themselves. Some like the camaraderie and interaction with customers and coworkers. Other people like to fill their time with activity. Some workers like change, challenge, and diverse problems to solve. The “something” obtained from work impacts morale, employee motivation, and the quality of life.

Is there an elephant in your office?????
The elephant is the unspoken expectations of your employees. Research has shown that people who have clearly defined, well-communicated expectations have better attitudes and enjoy greater job satisfaction than people whose expectations go unspoken or unrealized.

 

Measuring Expectations for Retention:
Having an effective program to measure and improve “visibility” of employee expectations and satisfaction is an important place to start. We have found that the results from The Work Expectations Profile helps people explore 10 work expectations that affect today's employment relationships:

  • Structure
  • Diversity
  • Recognition
  • Autonomy
  • Environment
  • Expression
  • Teamwork
  • Stability
  • Balance
  • Career Growth

In our next briefing we will experience an exclusive process that provides feedback to identify high expectations and then how to take steps to realize expectations or adjust when necessary. Register on-line now.

You will learn:

  • To identify your high expectations
  • The focus/reflect/act model in using expectations to improve retention
  • How to communicate, initiate action and/or adjust expectations
  • To improve your outlook and enhance your’s and your employee’s attitude toward work
  • The importance of discussing your employee's high expectations
