A great company can’t be great without great talent. Take a brand new shiny sports car for comparison. Without key factors like high performance or hard workers and a sleek profile or thoughtful leaders; your shiny sports car or successful business isn't getting enough mileage. So how do you ensure that your ‘key factors’ or top talent won’t leave your company? Well it always mean you have to add another ZERO to the end of their paycheck. Most employees are simply looking for a little recognition, appreciation, challenge or leadership from their employers.
Forbes interviewed a number of employees and got some pretty interesting feedback:
- More than 30% believe they’ll be working someplace else inside of 12 months.
- More than 60% don’t feel their career goals are aligned with the plans their employers have for them.
- More than 70% don’t feel appreciated or valued by their employer.
At first, these stats may seem like cause for concern and it’s important to realize that understanding these responses can prevent your employees to logging in to Jobs.com. The solution is simple, take the time to discuss the concerns your employees have.
Forbes explains some key mistakes employers make, pushing their top talent right out the door:
- Failing to unleash their passion
- Failing to challenge their intellect
- Failing to recognize their contributions
- Failing to care
Prevent missteps like these by having an open dialogue with employees. Discuss their concerns, recognize their accomplishments and challenge them to be the top talent you know they are or want them to become; your leadership skills and your company will prosper from it.
