5 Ways To Enhance Employee Retainment

• Employees who enjoy a positive experience working
  for a company are far more likely to want to
  remain loyal to it for as long as possible, and
  naturally, this is something all companies strive
  to achieve. But wanting to give employees a good
  experience while working for their company, and
  actually achieving it, are two very different
  things.
• Implementing and maintaining a positive employee
  experience isnt always straightforward, and
  while there are some simple things you can do to
  help achieve employee satisfaction, they dont
  come without their challenges, and all require
  great dedication and commitment. That said,
  giving employees a good workplace experience is
  always worth investing in from a business
  standpoint, and here are five areas you can focus
  on to achieve it

• 1. Hiring
• The experience of every employee begins with
  recruitment and hiring. During this phase its
  important to try and focus on enticing and hiring
  the right candidates for the advertised role, and
  this includes having the appropriate skills, both
  hard and soft, to match the culture of
  yourcompany. If an employee has the same (or
  similar) values to the philosophy of your
  company, theyre more likely to want to stick
  around.

• 2. Onboarding and training
• Once youve hired a new employee, how you
  integrate them into your company and the
  workplace, is a crucial part of the overall
  employee experience. Try to ensure that your
  onboarding processes include all of the
  information a new employee could possibly need in
  order for them to be productive. Simply handing
  them a manual and then offering them basic
  training isnt enough, and you should schedule
  regular check-ins with them to see what progress
  theyre making and find out what challenges, if
  any, they may be facing. Ask for their feedback,
  and encourage them to be honest about their
  concerns.

• 3. Pay and benefits
• While an employee might enjoy working for your
  company, ultimately they are there to earn money
  to pay their bills and feed their families, and
  whatever benefits you can offer them along the
  way, could influence their level of job
  satisfaction and determine how long they remain
  in their role. Provide all of your employees with
  competitive rates of pay and enough benefits to
  help them feel comfortable and protected while
  they work for you. Not only that, but try to pay
  them on time and accurately, something that can
  be consistently achieved by hiring a payroll
  service provider.

• 4. Technology
• Try to automate some important aspects of the
  employee experience to bring your company in line
  with modern expectations, and reduce the
  workload. Some areas that can easily be automated
  include
• Job applications
• Onboarding
• Benefits enrolment
• HR, payroll and benefits self-service
• Engagement

• That said, employees still hold a lot of value in
  real human connections, and you mustnt lose
  sight of this when automating processes. As such,
  you must carefully select where automation can be
  used to good effect, and when it should not be
  automated.
• 5. Flexible working arrangements
• No longer a luxury for employees, flexible
  working hours are a lifesaver for many employees,
  and employers should focus on promoting work
  schedules that are flexible, wherever possible.
  Some forms of this may include

• Remote
• Hybrid (a combination of remote and on-site)
• Part-time
• Temporary
• Compressed workweeks
• Alternative schedules
• One highly effective way of ensuring that your
  employees are given the very best experience
  possible when working for your company, is to
  outsource your HR and payroll requirements to a
  professional provider. They can then focus on
  what really matters to each and every employee,
  right from training and integration, to pay and
  benefits.
