Retention Engagement and Reducing Turnover with Michelle Tillis Lederman

Mar 6, 2023

As a business owner, you understand the importance of having a high-performing team. You spend countless hours interviewing and recruiting top talent, but what happens when your best employees start looking for new opportunities? Retaining your top talent is critical for the long-term success of your business. In a recent episode of The Business Growth Show, I had the pleasure of speaking with speaker and author Michelle Tillis Lederman about employee retention, engagement, and reducing turnover.

These are the top ways to retain your employees:

  •  Create a culture of connection: Employees who feel connected to their colleagues and the company are more likely to be engaged and stay for the long haul. Encourage open communication and collaboration, and make sure everyone feels valued and heard.
  • Offer opportunities for growth and development: Providing employees with opportunities to learn and grow within the company can increase job satisfaction and reduce turnover. Consider offering training programs, mentoring, or leadership development programs.
  • Recognize and reward good work: Everyone likes to be recognized for their hard work, and acknowledging accomplishments can go a long way in retaining top talent. Celebrate milestones, offer bonuses or promotions for exceptional work, and provide positive feedback regularly.
  • Provide work-life balance: Employees who feel overwhelmed or overworked are more likely to leave. Consider offering flexible schedules, remote work options, and adequate time off to help your employees achieve a healthy work-life balance.
  • Conduct regular check-ins: Regular check-ins with your employees can help identify potential issues before they become bigger problems. Use these conversations to discuss job satisfaction, career goals, and any challenges they may be facing.

By implementing these strategies, you can create a company culture that fosters employee retention, engagement, and reduces turnover. Your employees are the lifeblood of your business, and investing in their happiness and well-being can pay dividends in the long run.
