Investing resources in the retention of employees is a key element of success for an organization. The costs from both a financial and a time management standpoint of recruiting new staff can be very high, so it’s vital that employers not only understand the issues caused by a high turnover rate, but also develop and implement strategies to retain their staff.
Project performance will often suffer as a direct result of high employee turnover. Some common issues include: the adverse impact to the project’s schedules and budgets due to staffing shortages and transitions, the general disruption of project teams and company departments, and the lack of suitable candidates for replacement positions.
In addition, other employees may become concerned when they notice the departure of their colleagues, which can create an unbalanced work environment and lead to further turnover. In some extreme cases, it can even lead to the potential loss of proprietary information to competitors.
LDC 5-4: Employee Retention outlines 10 key employee retention strategies. Implementing these strategies will promote a greater sense of stability and inclusivity for current and prospective employees.
