A Conducive Environment at Workplace
to Preserve your Best Talent
ecruiting and retaining the right talent is the key to
Rsuccess, but implementing it in business is not
happening with most of the companies. Not every
organization is a Silicon Valley Giant where people get
attracted themselves and organizations do not need to worry
about recruiting right people.
Even if companies succeeds in hiring the best talent, most
organizations fail to create a positive working environment
and thus, leading to loss of the best people. The best thing
about the right talent is that they get recognized at one point
or another, and when it happens they would be at deserved
place in a deserved company. Positive working environment
plays an important role when we distinguish between
satisfied and unsatisfied employees. No employee wants to
work in an environment where he/she would feel detached
or demoralized, unless they are getting paid extremely well,
that too in case of needy people. But most of the time your
money will not attract the right people if you are unable to
provide a positive working environment.
Once you create a positive working environment, the next
step is to recognize and reward the right behavior. Every
employee wants to get admired and that’s no surprise unless
he/she is a saint. The want to get recognized and
appreciated is in the nature of every human being and no
one can disagree with that. The money and benefits will
attract people, but you will need something to keep them in
your company. A successful recognizing program doesn’t
need to be expensive, but to be effective. Companies get an
advantage with such recognizing and incentive programs
over other companies, which lack such programs.
People showing up at the work don’t define the fact that
they are productively engaged. Keeping them involved and
engaged is the next thing companies need to understand.
Right talent doesn’t want to waste a single moment of their
life doing nothing, thus they always want to be occupied
with good work which would not give them a feeling of
wasting time. Having the right policies, to keep them
engaged where they can contribute their ideas for the
betterment of the company is the key here. Best employees
don’t want to feel left out where they cannot be useful to
the company’s growth. However, organizing regular events
to encourage them to open up about their ideas will only
help keep them engaged and involved in the organization.
Never-ending improvement and continuous evaluation is
the concluding step organizations can take into
consideration. The focal purpose of evaluation is to figure
out the progress and find out what satisfies and dissatisfies
your workforce. The process of evaluation includes the
measurement of morale, attitudes, turnover, and the
engagement level of the workforce. When an employee
knows that their work is getting evaluated and improved
with time, they will feel valued and will be in your
organization till you have such culture.
Alast, these are just simple and basic steps and transforming
them into a culture will only help companies retaining best
employees in the organizations.
