How HR Consulting Can Help Small Businesses Retain Employees -

Why Does Employee Retention Matter?

Retaining employees is vital to the long-term success and profitability of any organization or business. Every time an organization replaces an employee, it costs a lot of money, which adds up quickly for companies that regularly turn over their staff. Getting your new employees up to the same level as their predecessors can take several weeks to months, resulting in lower productivity from your team and a lack of team alignment. Other reasons companies should strive to maintain long-term staff include:

Maintains good morale among team members and management

Provides a consistent experience for customers and clients

Improves the culture, allowing your staff to get to know each other better and become comfortable working together

Protects your profitability as you spend less money on hiring and training

How Your Business is Causing Employee Turnover

While individuals will leave a job for a number of different reasons, the organization they work for can often contribute to the list. Many businesses push their employees out the door without realizing it, and if you regularly have to post job ads to fill the same positions over again, you may be in the same boat.

A common mistake small businesses make is treating all their employees the same. In an effort to create a more efficient and streamlined workflow, many small business owners may begin to ignore their employees’ individual strengths and weaknesses. This can cause some employees to feel undervalued and unchallenged, while others may feel burnt out and overwhelmed by the scope of their role. Recognizing where your employees excel individually will help you to create an environment where they can thrive and grow as members of your team.

Small businesses have a unique opportunity to create a more personalized work environment for their employees that larger companies don’t, and taking every opportunity to make your staff feel seen, heard, and valued will better ensure their enjoyment and satisfaction in working for you.
