Pay them, make productivity standards achievable, incentivize high performance, and look at culture. In that order.
This is the one.
Sometimes it is pay, sometimes it’s leadership. You can have a great paycheck but if your leadership team is having issues, (most common example comes to mind is internal clicks not just between employees but the management team as well)the employees will pick up on that right away. Employees don’t want to deal with toxic selective boss all day. Some will stay for the money, but at some point they will start having mental health issues from working in a toxic environment, causing them to quit .
Lack of communication and directive I’ve noticed a lot as a DSP.
So who are the employees leaving and who is staying??
My guess is the employees staying are the ones who are away from their desk chatting and calling in all the time??
From my current experience, the people leaving are probably your good, dependable employees. They are leaving because there is no accountability. You have people walking around chatting and calling in because there are no repercussions. There are no repercussions because management is scared of losing the employees that they do have. The only employees staying in toxic work environments are those who have it exactly the way they like it, or they won’t move even if they are miserable because they are more afraid of change.
I am leaving my current employer because there is no accountability. I work my but off while others do the bare minimum, play on their phones, or vanish for 30 minutes to over an hour. Management won’t do anything about it, and im sick of it. So they will lose a hard worker who cares and keep the ones they don’t like!!
Hold your employees accountable. They have to have consequences to their actions or you will continue to be in this predicament.
Yes, you hit it on the head. Accountability
I honestly think the younger ones don’t want to work
It has nothing to do with "being young". None of us want to work for companies who do not take care of their employees. Employers and managers get the respect they give. Most employers expect more, faster, better, cheaper. Employees are scrutinized for questioning anything or asking for respect and treated as an equal? I'm sure you're probably aware of why employees don't want to stick around. If not, you should do exit interviews. Quote of the year "What have you done for me lately?"... Janet Jackson
Pay & Leadership quality are the first areas I would review for improvement. Does your team feel valued &/or supported? Is there any morale whatsoever?
I get unhappy when I am expected to take on more responsibility without compensation.
More likely Management
Ding ding ding
Have one on one’s with your staff to find out how they feel. Make sure that they feel valued as an employee and not just a body in a seat.
I would not do one on ones if the leadership is the problem they will probably attempt to tell the person what they want to hear to feel safe
What are the reasons they are leaving? Is it pay, is it management issues, burn out,? You have to figure out the why before you scan figure out the how.
Burnout, pay
As someone who has employees that rarely ever voluntarily leave, it is completely your fault. Unfortunately, it may be due to circumstances you have no control over like salary. However, if they are paid competitively, I will offer a few things I’ve learned in 25 plus years of leadership. 1. Hire the right people and don’t micromanage. If a person is trained, you should let them do their thing. If you need to interact directly daily or even weekly, you’re hiring the wrong people. Let their individual talents and skills shine. People work in different ways. 2. Do not have a personal relationship with any employee. 3. Never act on the word of one employee that has a complaint without getting feedback from every person involved. 4. Say THANK YOU every day. 5. Acknowledge EVERY above and beyond activity with a hand written note and a small gift card. However, if you don’t pay well and that’s the issue, there’s nothing you can do to achieve loyalty. People need to be paid their value.
employees always calling out
This is exactly what my company is going through right now. Well said! It’s the changes implemented by the C suite level without care and consideration that are resulting in heavy burnout rates. I’m getting ready to move on.
Likely the issue is due to leadership or pay, although the latter, I've come to find out is almost always less likely.
Treat people with respect and recognize their hard work and you will fix the problem.
Lead by example. Don’t expect employees to do something you would not do.
I agree
It might be pay BUT— I’d take a long hard look in the mirror. Often times it’s management
Share a little background on how long they stay, what the turnover is like, do they talk to you about why they are unhappy? What profession?
You haven’t hired me yet 🙂 and managers never understand employees when it comes to real life problems ask them how’s things outside of work if u see we are down with the type of job we do like RCA work or CNA talk to us like we are normal people not like robots or slaves
It’s probably pay.
Have you tried doing an anonymous survey on what you could do to make things better for your employees? In my experience, when people can be honest without having to give their name, this is the best way to get the information you want.
But also, on the back side of that. Make sure if you do that, listen!!! Put things into place to make changes. If you really want people to stay, make them happier so they want to stay!!
Accountability for the bad employees also. Pay is not the only reason employees stay. They want to feel appreciated. That doesn’t mean chips for everyone. Night crew also never feels appreciated. They always get left overs or nothing after presentation in front of admin
