Hey there,
By now we’ve all probably heard and/or experienced the great resignation by seeing people move into new roles and making professional changes. 2021 has definitely seen higher churn rates in most teams and many people took the lockdown to rethink, upskill and re-orient themselves. While most companies are focusing on hiring new talent, it’s easy to overlook that talent to chose to stay. Rewarding and incentivizing those on your team that are committed long-term secures your team’s core and provides stability for everyone.
How to keep those that stay
👉 With So Many People Quitting, Don’t Overlook Those Who Stay by Debbie Cohen
Top Takeaways: If you were re-recruiting the people still on your team, what would you ask them? Do you know their goals and motivations? Understanding your team members’ drivers and how they can accomplish their goals internally can help them feel valued and energized in staying.
👉 Esther Perel’s simple advice for finding meaning at work by Anne Quito
Top Takeaways: “Cut your meetings short and leave time for play.” Play is a part of the innovation process. Making time for games, team bonding, and activities where your team can get to know each other better and build an internal community.
👉 A Better Way to Develop and Retain Top Talent by Margaret Rogers
Top Takeaways: Treat every challenge your team members face as an opportunity for a “learning moment.” When we think of upskilling our team members, it isn’t just long-winded courses or conferences. It can include small opportunities to grow in the moment using the day-to-day challenges that come up as frustrations in 1:1s and working through them together.
