Employee Retention: Avoid Resignation Letters
from The HR Hub Hosted by WRKdefined Podcast Network
Most retention strategies are just expensive band-aids. This week I spoke with Dr. Roger Gerard, who spent 23 years as Chief Learning Officer in healthcare and has a refreshingly simple perspective on how to keep people around. Roger breaks it down to five promises that leaders need to make - and more importantly, keep. Those promises have to do with listening with respect, helping people grow, helping them be successful, competitive compensation, and having their back when things go wrong. But we also talked about the tension within the promises. For example, we're not going have someone's back when they've done something deeply unethical. We also dig into why so many organizations have created a loyalty problem. Employers expect it from employees but don't appear to it back. If you're dealing with retention issues and tired of surface-level solutions, this conversation will give you some ideas. Find Roger at rogergerard.com and check out his book "Lead with Purpose."
