3. 1. Company culture
Having the right
company culture in a
workplace can make
all the difference
when it comes to
making a position
more marketable for
potential employees.
4. Having the right culture
for the right talent could
include fostering an
inclusive and diverse
environment, providing
opportunities for flexible
working, giving a suitable
level of autonomy to
employees or even
hosting a team lunch on
a daily or weekly basis.
5. Introducing small,
incremental changes to
your workplace
culture can make a big
impression on potential
employees. Add
employee testimonials
to your careers site to
provide candidates with
a better insight into day-
to-day working life.
6. 2. Company reputation
To attract the best talent
on the market, it’s
essential companies
create a reputation as
somewhere candidates
want to work.
7. Companies well
known for their
products and
working practices
will be able to
attract the strongest
candidates simply
on their reputation
within a particular
sector or industry.
8. 3. Career progression
The prospect of career
progression is often
fundamental in a
candidate’s decision to
accept a job offer, so
it’s essential
companies look to
signpost all available
opportunities for
professional
development.
9. Are you doing
enough to develop
your existing
employees? Establish
a tailored
professional
development scheme
and make sure these
opportunities are
discussed with
candidates during the
recruitment process.
10. 4. Provide a
Competitive Salary
and Benefits
The truth is that
money talks. The best
practitioners will want
to be paid their
worth. Most
employees will gain
additional job
satisfaction based on
how well they earn.
11. Make sure that you use professional pay scale websites to help you
come up with a competitive rate. You can also compare your rates
to similar job posts to help with your research. In addition, benefits
like decent leave, bonuses, and performance incentives will attract
top talent. You can also consider offering birthday leave.
12. Here are some of the top benefits to attract great talent:
Health Insurance: Health insurance is an important benefit that many
prospective employees will consider. We'll talk a bit more about options in
flexible benefits later, but offering some form of health insurance is an
attractive benefit that employees appreciate.
Dental and Vision Insurance: Many insurance plans don't include dental and
vision. These added policies are enticing, especially for employees with a family.
Retirement Benefits: Retirement benefits, such as a company-matched 401k,
are something that many employees will look for in a job offer.
Vacation Time / Paid Time Off: Many employees are looking heavily at the ways
a position will help them bring more quality to their lives. They appreciate the
ability to take time off to spend with family and take care of their personal
responsibilities.
13. Flexible Schedule: A flexible schedule can be an excellent selling point for
many employees who need to balance work and home life. Allowing
employees to adjust their schedules to include advanced studies or other
responsibilities can make the work environment more attractive.
Remote Work Options: Work from home opportunities have become far
more mainstream in the past year, but many employees appreciate the
ability to work from home, even in a hybrid capacity. This can also be
beneficial for the company because you can cut down on overhead by
downsizing to a smaller office.
Wellness Benefits: Some companies offer health club memberships or a
discount on health club memberships. They may also offer things like
chiropractor visits, yoga classes, or other wellness treatments that can
benefit staff and make for a less stressful work atmosphere.
14. Education and Career Growth Opportunities: Some benefits you might
consider offering are things that benefit the employee's career trajectory.
Many employees will look for positions that can help them grow
professionally. You can help with this process by offering tuition
reimbursement or other career training options for your staff.
Employee Savings Account: A savings plan works like a 401K, but it might
be used for anything, not just your retirement. Often these are used by
employees for retirement, purchasing a home, or paying college tuition
for children. The funds are matched by the employer, and they are taken
prior to being taxed, so there is a tax benefit for the employee.
Flexible Benefits System: Flexible benefits are becoming more and more
popular with employees and companies. With these flex plans, your
employee gets to pick the exact benefits package that fits their individual
needs.
15. 5. Professional Development
One of the frequent arguments against investing in internal
professional development is the concern of training employees that
then will leave the organization. The better question to ask yourself
is ‘what if you don’t train them and they stay?’
16. Great companies find the time and resources to invest back
in their people. Consider internal and external training
opportunities such as mentoring, job shadowing, cross-
training, and professional development. Not investing in
internal professional development could deter potential
new hires and send existing talent to competitors that do
invest back in their own people.
18. 1. Identify
Retention As a
Strategic Issue
A talent strategy
that is aligned to
the business will
help consolidate
and direct your
retention efforts.
19. This means that senior management need to be as
committed to retention as individual people managers.
Set a tone-from-the-top and role-model behavior that
demonstrates the value of every person within the
organization.
20. 2. Develop Great
People Managers
“People leave
managers, not
companies.” This
famous quote is oft
repeated and is
vitally important to
employee
retention.
21. Just as you should
be focusing on
development
opportunities for all
people within the
organization, so
you need to focus
on great leadership
skills for current
and future
managers.
