The key to retain good employees is consider to be dependant of the total work environment that you offer to your employees but there are basic issues that should be taken in consideration!
For example, Susan Heathfield mentions at her article of how to reduce employee turnovers, that the three basics in employee retention are " Competitive salary and benefits, flexible schedule options, and tuition assistance! At this age, competitive benefit packages that include health care incentives, 401ks and life insurance are also seeing as powerful tools of retention. But the less visible and sometimes most valued by employees is the opportunity to share their knowledge and to be able to teach what they know.
People like to feel part of their jobs and make work fun. They like to feel respected and to be part of any decisions affecting their work.
That is were managers have the potential to transform a company by offering recognition for those who exceed expectations in their own performances or help others to attain their potential.
The challenge is at the value we see on nonworking activities. There is great potential to improve morale and satisfaction(increased productivity and efficiency) when workers see their jobs as an extension of their family, a place were they will like to bring their sons and daughters and show off their contributions to a business world. I know there is a negative sense of change that think "those are old times that won't come back". And the reality of global competition increase those sentiments of nostalgia but we still have companies like that in the US. And they are doing well! we just have to look at them and learn from them by sharing their best practices with all of those that think of Human resources as a disposable "thing".
