- Foster A Positive Work Environment
Even if talent is compensated well, if they hate the people or environment they work in, they won’t be sticking around. Make sure that the social climate in your company is stable and free of major drama. Disagreements will happen, but it’s HR’s job to quell these before they get out of control.
A positive work environment is essential for retaining top talent. This can include providing a safe and clean work environment, encouraging open communication, recognizing and rewarding employee achievements, and offering flexible work arrangements.
Employees want to feel heard and valued. Regularly soliciting feedback from employees and taking action on their suggestions can help foster a sense of ownership and engagement among your workforce. A company is more than just its upper management.
HR’s job is to have a read on what the workplace wants for the future. Feedback is obviously a crucial part of that, but it’s often lost in the shuffle of hiring and dispute settlements. Your HR needs to find the right balance between all those responsibilities.
