How To Keep Great Staff
Hello and welcome to Episode 132 of the People Powered Business Podcast!
In today’s episode of the podcast we’re talking about something that I know is top of mind for many small business owners right now – how to keep the great staff they have!
The reality is, it is harder than ever to keep great people right now. They are getting offers and opportunities placed in front of them every day of the week, and at some point in time they might start to think the grass does look greener on the other side.
The stats support this, with data out of the Australian Bureau of Statistics showing us that resignation rates are at a 10 year high and unemployment is at a 50 year low.
So how can we keep great people in this environment? In today’s episode I share with you 3 fundamental concepts you need to be paying attention to when it comes to retaining the best people:
- Making the right decisions;
- Harnessing their greatness;
- Creating complete alignment.
All three concepts are big picture ideas that cross over many elements of the employment relationship. But they really are the fundamentals, getting this right will help ensure your A players stay with you long term.
If you’d like to ask questions or start a discussion about this issue of retention in a competitive market, I have an invitation for you.
