5 tips to ensure employee retention

It is essential to keep in mind that actions to retain talent never end. It is necessary to work every day to guarantee all teams a healthy working environment, representative and with possibilities for development. 

Here are five different (but complementary) ways to get your best people to stay with your organization!

1. Offer a career plan: every employee wants to have the possibility to grow within the company. Offering a structured career plan, that is, an existing path, possible and achievable, to move up in position, is primordial. If the professional feels stagnated, he will look for another place to grow at some point;
2. expand your team benefits offer: having good benefits is increasingly decisive for the modern professional. One very effective way to get ahead of the competition is to offer flexible benefits. In this scenario, the company decides how much the benefits offer will be, but the employee can choose where and how they want to spend it;
3. implement a feedback culture: having a leadership and teams that support you and value your development through periodic feedbacks is very important for employee retention. In addition to creating a relationship of trust, it is still possible to generate insights for improvement for the company and the professional develops much faster, understanding their strengths and development;
4. guarantee an excellent onboarding: retention starts at the hiring stage. If you offer a well-structured onboarding, that explains what the employee needs to do, how the company culture is and what their objective is there, they won't be lost, not knowing what to do. Consequently, their learning curve is reduced, their satisfaction is increased, and performance grows faster;
5. Offer training and capacity building programs: if you want to work on retaining employees, you need them to develop within the company and become increasingly skilled professionals, right? For this, nothing better than offering courses, lectures, workshops, training, mentoring, among others.
