There is no doubt that the last few years have changed everything including how we work. The period of the
GREAT RESIGNATION continues and now, the GREAT RETENTION has become a focused effort.
Companies are trying to figure it all out.
WHO DOES WHAT?
Let's consider that BOTH the company and
their employees can collaborate on the solutions.
Below are
crucial and important ways a company can retain and attract the right employees to help them grow.
Now, how many of these attributes can employees also take ownership of if "empowered" is at the top of the list?
Can employees...
-Find their mentors and mentor others?
-Take the initiative to lead, be involved and find new challenges throughout the company to achieve a mission?
-Be aware of and “own their value” and their
business impact...appreciate themselves and their own “secret sauce” first?
-Demonstrate their trustworthiness through communicating, delivering, and setting the example by "doing"?
-Formulating a strategy that aligns with their career growth and the contributions to a great culture that helps the company grow?
-Network in a strategic way that develops business resources and collaborative relationships?
-Perform 100%+ to be indispensable, be able to measure contributions for their promotions and higher compensation, even if they have to ask for it?
I believe it's possible because company leaders have talent and value, but most don't see the specifics, no less have
practices articulating their value proposition.
