| Research Reveals The Real Reason People Switch Jobs |
 Most of us think that employees leave the job because they do not like their boss, or maybe they aren't being paid enough. The data is in and you aren't going to believe what it tells us. The Data Reveals Why People Leave Their Job No one wants to be stuck in a dead end job for the rest of their lives. Employees that do not feel like there is any room for advancement in their current job will go in search of new employment. One survey was conducted interviewing 10,000 people. Of those individuals: - 45% said they left because of concern of lack of advancement opportunities
- 41% said they were unhappy with the leadership of senior management
- 36% said they were not happy with the work culture or environment
- 34% said they were unsatisfied with how they were compensated and benefits they received
- 34% said that they were not happy with the lack of recognition for the work they put in
How Can The Data Help You? Given these pieces of information, you can greatly reduce the number of people that you lose in your business. When you take the data you have been given and firm up those areas that are lacking, you will have happier employees that stay with you longer. Create a Place For Advancement Not having the ability to advance in the job is the number one reason people said they left the job. It is up to you to give your employees a chance to advance in their career. When you are selling the career advancement opportunities to your team, make sure that you share with them how they can use this advancement for future career in the company. Be a Strong Senior Manager You cannot ignore that the second biggest reason people left their jobs is due to their dissatisfaction with the senior management. It is up to you to become the type of leader that people are willing to follow. Often times, your leadership is not the problem, as much as it is a lack of relationship. Get before your employees more often. Create a communication loop that allows them to provide feedback to you and vice versa. It is wise to use the information you are given to tighten up weak areas in your company in order to retain more employees.t

  The Latest And (Maybe) Greatest New Company Benefit Student debt is painful for college graduates today. They are unable to begin saving toward their 401K, start a family, or even buy a house due to their mountain of student loan debt. In fact, the debt amounts are so high for these grads that approximately 40% of them are in default on their loans. In one word, this is a PROBLEM. However, the issue could potentially be remedied by making student debt payoff a benefit offered by your company. 5 reasons to add this benefit to your package: - Top Talent - If you help college graduates pay off what they owe, then you'll most likely attract the best-of-the-best. These promising candidates quite possibly could be facing a large debt amount. If you help them pay their loans off, then they will be more likely to accept your position over another company.
- Innovative Concept - The idea to add student debt pay off to a benefits package is, currently, considered to be more cutting edge, different and new. Try and be innovative with your benefits package! You'll attract and secure better candidates.
- Recruitment Tool - Provide a little inspiration by offering this benefit in the recruitment phase. If you use the student debt payoff as a reason to work for you, then you'll quite possibly grab more attention from job seekers.
- Slow to Implement - A company's slow pace in adding this benefit has been a flaw. Don't let that be your story. Implement it already! Please don't drag your feet. Start now and stand out to those seeking employment.
- Be Different - I know this benefit is a little new feeling. However, don't be the last one around to make it happen! Choose to be different, fresh and original. You'll hire more talented employees and help those grads along the way. Win-win!
Student debt is extreme these days. Job seekers would be fascinated by an offer to help them pay down debt and also have a new job. What are you waiting for? Get a jump start on your program and make a difference in the lives of your recently graduated employees..t ~ Written for us by our associate Gary Sorrell, Sorrell Associates, LLC.

| Managing By Walking Around |
 This is not a new concept but one that seems to have been forgotten. As I work with companies to help them enhance their management capabilities I am surprised to see how few managers are actually walking around. We keep getting caught up in paperwork, (or at least that is an excuse) and not taking the time to see what our associates, staff, employees, and team members are doing. It is not just walking around either. It is what you do when you walk around. Patrick made a practice of walking around the factory floor and stopping to speak to some of his employees-usually the same people whom he had known for years. He asked how they were doing and about their families. It was good for morale, but he never learned anything of real value...and neither did his employees. Greg also walked around his department, but he took a different approach. Before he starts he reviews what projects were being done, who is the team leader, what the completion dates are, what each team member's assignments are, and any challenges that he may have that may have an impact on any of the projects. His questions and comments to his staff were focused and specific. He would ask if they were having any problems or if the project was going to be completed by the due date. He asked if they had any suggestions that could help in this or any future projects. He too would ask about their families (very important to know your employees) and would make sure that he allowed people to exchange ideas to enhance their jobs, the company, and the future for success. Greg's employees knew that he valued their ideas and suggestions and was able to boost productivity and morale. Try this management approach and see how your employees respond. t ~ Written for us by our associate Gary Sorrell, Sorrell Associates, LLC. Copyright protected. All rights reserved. |
