Are you concerned about Employee Retention?
The retention of your best, most desirable employees is a key challenge in organizations today.

Retention requires a competitive salary and great benefits.

For whom reasons do employees work? For our reasons or for their reasons?
Some people work for personal fulfillment; others work for love of what they do. Others work to accomplish goals and to feel as if they are contributing to something larger than themselves. The bottom line is that we all work for money and for reasons too individual to assign similarities to all workers. You should ask them more.

Recognize, then recognize and don´t you forget to recognize
Employees complain about the lack of recognition regularly.
Managers fail to provide recognition. “Why should I recognize or thank him?
He’s just doing his job.”
