CEOs are asking, “How can we increase employee retention and engagement?”
Maybe that’s the wrong question.
What if you asked: “What are our employees grateful for?”
How would your employees respond to these statements?
- I am respected by my boss
- My manager helps me to learn and grow
- I have the tools and the necessary training to succeed
- I am motivated to do my best
- I trust my manager and the company’s senior executives
- The company deals with employee issues honestly and fairly
- I am valued for my ideas, my talents, and my diversity
People stay where they are wanted, respected, and appreciated. If you answer “Yes” to five or more – CONGRATULATIONS – your employees are grateful for more than just their paycheck.
Overview
CEOs seeking to improve employee retention and engagement might consider focusing on whether employees feel respected, supported, equipped, motivated, trusted, and valued rather than simply asking how to boost these metrics; if a leader can affirmatively answer at least five statements reflecting these qualities, it suggests their workforce appreciates more than just compensation, highlighting the importance of fostering a workplace where employees feel genuinely valued and fairly treated.
