Everything you need to know about Employee Retention

04-21-2022 | By Devore Recruiting Blog Posts

What is staff retention?

Every industry nowadays experiences a competitive and quick changing labor market. Companies and firms often struggle with many employees who come and go.

It is crucial to understand why the staff leaves not only for the business to continue running but to keep top talents in your team. The efforts to retain employees in the company is beneficial not just in the long run but for the future of the business.

What does “employee retention” really mean?

Employee Retention is defined as an effort made by the company to have their employees stay with them for the longest time. This effort also helps to lessen employee turnover – which brings risks and toll to business performance.

Retention of staff includes strategies that company management develop to understand the following:

  • What do employees and staff value in a company and what makes them stay
  • The financial impact when an employee stay vs. turnover
  • Other areas of improvement in which employees could be happier in the company

Employee retention: A key role for everu Businesses

Retention of staff plays a key role in any company or firm not only by means of financial assets. Aside from avoiding hiring expenses, employee retention promotes the health and strengthens the success of an organization.

Hiring and training new employees could be stressful – it also brings negative impact to your business financially and lowers the morale of your team.

Retention of staff allows a company to evade the following:

  • high costs of recruitment – paying for job ads, making phone calls and email outreach that could often times be ignored
  • knowledge loss – this could often happen when a long time employee leaves without having a proper turnover
  • low productivity – newly hired staff could take time learning and coping up with the company’s work ethics and share knowledge

Employee Retention benefits for employees

Many employees find it hard to build camaraderie when the workforce keeps on changing.

One of the most important things for employees on why they stay on their job is peers. As years go by in a company, people develop a strong bond that helps to boost business growth. It is almost impossible to achieve this if team members constantly leave the organisation.

The higher and stronger the comradeship is, the better chance of people working together to hit their goals.

Employee retention plays a key role for other employees by:

  • Improving the companionability of each team member making them feel that they are part of group
  • Allowing a sense of teamwork
  • Providing optism for each staff member that aside being colleagues, they could be friends too
  • Giving them the impression that a company takes care and manages their team well

It is also worth knowing that hiring the right fit for your company’s culture will help develop a good relationship between employees and their employer, that is why retained search executive recruitment is widely preferred over other type of recruitment such as contingency because they focus on putting the most appropriate people for the job in the first place.

Having difficulties on staff retention can be crucial if left ignored. It is important to know how this issue can be solved and ultimately why it is happening.

"Bita is EXACTLY what our facility needs. We have been working for a while at changing our image. She has joined us at precisely the right time. She is knowledgeable (extremely), hard working and committed to Quality Care. Because she is new, some leadership is challenging her, but she can handle it. The licensed nurses and CNAs LOVE her. She already has had a very positive impact. I am extremely grateful"
