Talent retentionFor the moment it seems that permanent staff are staying put, with fewer than one in ten actively looking for a new appointment. That’s partly out of loyalty, and partly out of natural caution given the uncertainty of the jobs market. But organisations shouldn’t get complacent about retention.
Mismatched perceptionsOrganisations think that the top three things which will ensure people stay with them are (in order): company reputation and
employer brand; culture/cultural fit and values; employee benefits. They couldn’t be more wrong. People rank these as sixth, seventh and eighth out of nine. What workers really want is competitive remuneration, quality training and development, and well worked out career paths. That’s quite a gulf in understanding. Someone’s not talking to someone.
Heres a snippet of advice on talent retention, taken from the latest edition of Randstad's workpocket...
Retaining each valued individual“Every time you have to replace an individual, it costs an average of seven months’ salary. Having a high turnover of workers is bad for the bottom line and bad for brand image, and when the upturn comes, and you need to make hires, a bad image makes it hard to attract quality candidates. Retention is a science which strengthens businesses and saves needless expense”, says Kelly Quirk, MD of Randstad Corporate and Managed Services, who’s advised a variety of top clients on retention.
