If you are not
concerned about the future of your knowledge workers, you soon will be.
As baby boomers age
out of the workplace there will be a shortage of
high-end knowledge
workers until the
boomer's echo generation develops the
skills needed to replace them. If you are in a people-intensive business of
innovating, building relationships or solving problems,
the
implications for
your business are staggering.
What are you doing
to improve employee retention? |

Take your pick. Which type of place do you want to work at: One that is cold and gives you a sense no one cares, or one that makes you feel good and appreciated? Money and benefits are important, but studies show in the long run the work environment--the feeling they get when they come to work--is more important in retaining and motivating people. People like a friendly place to work. The friendly-factor does not require a large investment and expense, but it does require time and thoughtful consideration. Today's labor force is different. Supervisors must take responsibility for their own employee retention. If they don't, they could be left without enough good employees. A wise employer will learn how to attract and keep good employees, because in the long run, this workforce will make or break a company's reputation. What's Different? New supervisors must be prepared to be collaborative, supportive, and nurturing of their people. The old style of "my-way-or-the-highway" style of management is a thing of the past. Most new supervisors need training to understand what it really takes to retain employees. |
