Preface
A preface seems generally to be considered as a kind of closet prologue.
It is a matter of great pleasure that I am undertaking writing report at Post
Graduate Diploma in Management. It is a challenging career, which requires
an adept and practical knowledge of business affairs and accounts. For this
purpose practical training is most helpful.
Summer training is a step to bridge up the gap between the theoretical studies
and its practical problems. As a part of the curriculum of MBA by JIM, I did my
summer project at Jodhana Heritage Pvt Ltd, Jodhpur.
In this project, I am presenting the report on To study the Reason for Attrition
and suggesting a Retention Framework. I have tried my best to present this
report.
This training helped me in understanding various practical aspects of Human
Resource Management Department, which I have studied in books during our
classroom training.

A stone's throw away from the ancient capital of Marwar, Mandore, and only 8
km from the city-center of Jodhpur, Bal Samand is a world away from the
hustle and bustle of modern life. The lake was engineered in the 12th Century
but the exquisite red sand-stone palace came later; it was built by Maharaja
Jaswant Singh I of Jodhpur in the 17th Century, at the very zenith of Rathore
Rule under the umbrella of the Mughal Empire. Set in a private estate of over
60 Acres, with sprawling orchards of lime and pomegranate and landscaped
gardens criss-crossed by elegant waterways and even a aqueduct, the palace
with its lovely promenade on the lake, was always more than just a residence;
a pleasure palace in the finest Mughal tradition of the picnic. In more recenttimes a tradition has developed with the Royal Family celebrating the first rains

in Bal Samand; a custom that has led to the palace being referred to as a
Monsoon Palace. But today, after the successful completion of an ambitious
restoration and modernization program Bal Samand is the palace for all
seasons; a world class Heritage Hotel with modern amenities and an Health
Spa of renown.
The palace houses ten exclusive suits in all, and suites alone. Each is
tastefully and luxuriously appointed in authentic Jodhpur style, with traditional
seating, dining alcoves, chaise lounges by the window and enormous Jacuzzi
baths. The gracious interiors are matched only by the spectacular views of the
pristine lake and the splendid gardens.
Down in the gardens, surrounded by acres of manicured lawn, are twenty
six tastefully designed Garden Rooms with their own Rose Garden, croquet
lawn and restaurant

Maharani Bagh Orchard, Ranakpur
The Maharani Bagh, Queen's Garden, was gifted to his Maharani by
Maharaja Takhat Singh of Jodhpur in the 19th Century. Beautifully located at
the foot of the thickly forested Aravalli Hills that divided the former kingdoms
of Jodhpur and Udaipur, Maharani Bagh remains essentially a fruit orchard.
Acres and acres of mango, lime, and pomegranate... give way to clusters of
lovely little cottages and intimate gardens in full bloom. There is a machaan
with a spectacular view of the hills and the central dining area is a charming"village" courtyard complete with thatched roofs and delicious Rajasthani
cuisine.
There are sixteen air-conditioned rooms, and with most of them on a twin
plan in a "cottage", Maharani Bagh is an idyllic family retreat, as indeed it
remains for the Royal Family of Jodhpur. Some of the rooms look on to the
swimming pool and the badminton and tennis courts are a short walk away.

The hills and forests around the royal estate abound with wild-life. Wild-
Boar, Sambhar and the Sloth Bear are commonly sighted and the fortunate
may get a glimpse of the elusive Leopard.
Maharani Bagh is only 3 km away from the fabulous Jain Temples of
Ranakpur. One of the five sacred pilgrimages for the Jains the Ranakpur
Temple is perhaps the most beautiful.
ROYAL TENTS

14/66
Only 135 km north of Jodhpur, Nagaur was once situated on the important
trade routes from the Arabian Sea ports to Delhi, and is one of Rajasthan's
most historic cities. A medieval prize Nagaur has borne witness to almost
every northern Indian dynasty of significance, including the mighty Mughals,
and was an integral part of Marwar from the 17th Century.
The Royal Camp at Nagaur is pitched on an old polo ground within the
historic walls of the Ahichattragarh Fort, a spectacular Rajput-Mughal
bastion that dates as far back as the 5th Century. The tents themselves are
stylish and luxurious, with attached baths, and the surroundings; auniquecomplex of magnificent palaces, airy pavilions and intricate waterways; truly
magical. The Emperor Akbar visited Ahichattragarh more than once and to
dine at his Akbari Mahal with candlelight and live music is an experience
rare even for Rajasthan.
The Fair The best time to camp in Nagaur is during the famous annual live-
stock fair, second only to the Pushkar Fair; in fact, perhaps in some ways
superior to Pushkar because it is as yet "unspoilt". Thousands of camels
and horses, and the famed Nagori Bull, which of all the Indian strains most
resembles the one on the Mohenjodaro Seal, camp around the city which
becomes a veritable market those few days. It is Rajasthan at its best and
brightest.
The fair takes place sometime in January/February, the exact date
ascertained by the Indian lunar calendar (see table below).
Monuments Nagaur is an extremely interesting little township with
innumerable monuments tucked away in its charming streets and lanes.
There are some lovely old Mughal mosques and the cenotaph of Amar
Singh Rathore, who lived in Ahichattragarh and dared to defy the Emperor
Shah Jahan himself, is a must see.
The Country The Royal Camp in Ahichattragarh makes an ideal base toexplore the surrounding country. It is a land best seen on camel; rolling

scrub, the occasional group of sand dunes and the rarer little lake, brilliant

The Nag Pahar, the Snake Mountain, separates Pushkar from Ajmer, only 11
km to the north-west. It is an enchanting little town on the banks of a sacred
lake which, together with its extremely rare Lord Bramha Temple, makes it one
of the most important pilgrimages in Rajasthan. The Royal Camp at Pushkar
takes place during the famous Pushkar Horse and Camel Fair and Festival of
Brahma in October/November every year, the exact date ascertained
according to the Indian lunar calendar. The traditional 'shikar' style camp
consists of elegant and luxurious twin bedded tents with verandahs with deck-
chairs in front and attached bathrooms withrunning hot water at the back; aspacious Mughal design Dining Tent; a charming Recreation Tent which
serves as a lounge; and a huge bonfire every evening. It is located in large
private grounds, flanked by rolling mustard fields in flower and rocky hills, and
overlooking the bustling fair, only a short walk or camel ride away.

LITERATURE REVIEW
The greatest challenge faced today by the organizations the world over is
retaining talented employees in the organization. A debate raging since many
decades has been as to whether to retain them is more important than finding
a successor to the vacant position. Whist the argument continues, let usexamine the causes, consequences and control of employee turnover, we
mean that employees of an organization cease to remain in the services of
that organization and leave for reasons best known to them.
Some of the causes/consequences could be classified as:
Dissatisfaction parameter
Employees are dissatisfied with the salaries, perks and benefits offered by the
organizations they are currently in. They may also be dissatisfaction with their
bosses or find their jobs meaningless and unimportant as a result of which
their job satisfaction levels are very low. Further they may be dissatisfied with
career opportunities in the organization or even its personnel policies in
general As a consequence of the above employees leave to join other
organization, which satisfy their need. As the wheel of time moves along, they
find a third organization which offers to satisfy them even more. Thus they
change again i.e. they are perennially job-hopping from one organization to
another.
Alternatives Parameter:
8/14/2019 Attritin an Retention Gunjan
25/66
Here the employee leaves the organization in search of greener pastures
such as starting his own business joining the family business joining an
organization in a foreign country or even availing of the Voluntary retirement
Scheme of the organization and relaxing at home living off the interest
generated from fixed deposits and investment. An Interesting trend in recent
years has been that many managers leave industry to become consultants or
even faculty in management institutes or go abroad to complete their Ph.D. or
further studies. It is important to note here that the separation here was not
because of the dissatisfaction with respect to the present organization but
because of the other available alternatives and inclinations in that direction by
the employees. The consequence her is that the organizations some of these
employees are consultants on a retainer ship basis from time to time. This is
possible if and only if the separated employees are not always in a competitive
area of work.
Personal parameter:
In this case, the employee choose to separate himself from the organization
because of the personal reasons such as ill-health, desire to return to the
native place for family reasons, the spouse is transferred and the current
organization has no branch in the new location and so on. In the Indian
context, women may have to give up their jobs post marriage to resettle
elsewhere in the country or even post- pregnancy. As some of the above
problems are more common with the women employees. many organizations
have an unwritten policy which is widely practiced i.e. to minimize employment
of women. This is a very unfair and biased policy and unfortunately many
competent and well-qualified women have had to suffer. But companies argue
that many women executives, even in todays Indian context have to quit jobs
after marriage or pregnancy. It is best therefore not to generalize and treat
such cases on their respective merits
8/14/2019 Attritin an Retention Gunjan
26/66
Organization initiated parameter:
Sometimes employees have to separate from an organization as they have
not completed their probation periods successfully or they are being laid off for
want of work or their appointment was only on a temporary basis. In fact it is
this aspect of separation that is most unpleasant since the earlier ones
discussed were cases of separation which were employee initiated. Caremust taken by the organizations to ensure that the above be carried out
smoothly as possible else, this could create a lot of negative impression about
the company which could be detrimental for the organizations image in the
long run. One major consequence of this type of separation is that it affects
the morale of the employees at large and creates feelings of insecurity in
general.
Let us realize that today recruitment has become both a highly specialized are
and a costly exercise too. Once an individual joins and organization, costs
incurred on him include Acquisition cost i.e. cost of recruitment, selection and
placement & Training costs i.e. induction, specialized training and on the job
training. Besides when he separates from the organization, the company
faces the cost of his position lying vacant besides having to pay his separation
pay and such dues.
Hence organization today is focusing on minimizing employee turnover with
great gusto. Some of the control measures taken are:
Having a well-designed and dynamic Compensation and
Benefits System which is highly competitive.
8/14/2019 Attritin an Retention Gunjan
27/66
Proving opportunities for further growth in the organization via
career planning/succession planning.
Develop a highly conduci8ve and pro-active work culture in the
organization where openness, creativity and commitment are valued.
In many organizations today, Exit interviews are conducted to obtain feedback
from separated employees about their stint in the organization.
8/14/2019 Attritin an Retention Gunjan
28/66
Exit Interview
This exit interviews is conducted in two phases
Phase I
Is conducted as soon as the employees boss receives his resignation letter.
The objective of this meeting is to ascertain reasons as to why the employee
wishes to leave the organization. If the employee is really worth retaining,
attempts are made to eliminate dissatisfies is and retain his services for the
organization. This decision has to be taken very judiciously else the
employee. Despite all the attempts made, if the employee still decides to
separate then we move on
Phase II
Usually the second phase of the exit interviews should be conducted after the
employee who has separated has been paid all his dues and his accounts with
the company have been paid all hid dues and his accounts with the company
have been settled. This ensures that the separated employee provides candidand unbi8ased feedback about the organizations procedures, poli8ci8es and
problem areas. All such feedback should be recorded on paper and circulated
to the top management. In order to ensure that a good discussion is possible.
The exit interview should be held in privacy and conducted by a senior
employee of the organization who is not there boss or departmental head 0f
the separated employee. If the feedback duly obtained by this method is
looked into seriously, this serves as a good raw data base through which
various irritants and lacunae in the organization could be eliminated.
8/14/2019 Attritin an Retention Gunjan
29/66
In fact, the exit interview also has one more spin-off. If the employee parts
with a good feeling, he has a tendency to keep in touch with the separated
organization. Perhaps pavers a period of time, he would even like to comeback to his old organization. Some management is conservative and brands
the separated employee as a traitor but many other organizations welcome
him back.
Whilst critics argue that a continuous inflow and outflow of people into any
organizations keeps it healthy, care should be taken to ensure that the outflow
does not exceed the inflow. Further good employees should be retained a
developed to assume higher levels of responsibility in the organization. One
needs to remember that employee turnover is not a malady which exists in the
organizations. Hence necessary steps should be taken by an organization to
identify the causes and keep this turnover at an acceptable level, Retaining
talent and creativity is conducive work culture to facilitate performance to
ensure the organizations health & success.

attrition accentuates the loss, stated Nair, The cost of hiring is
sometimes not less than two to three times the salary of the employee,
the impact on work progress is tremendous, particularly if a project is
underway and one of the key people leaves. It leads to dip in entire
organizational efficiency, and a lot depends on how it is able to cover
the setback.
Organizations should execute top of the line retention policies in the
right earnest and consistency. They should e more employee-c
entered and look for further ways to bond employees to their
companies. Company performance is optimally aligned to the skills its
employees possess. High attrition implies that certain necessary skills
are vulnerable or are not preset due to employees being lost. If the
skills are constantly not available, the situation gets compounded into
a crisis with key projects, revenues, etc., getting affected. Business is
then reduced to just managing crisis. For example, a 2 percent attrition
difference can make a significant difference in the ultimate business
impact.
8/14/2019 Attritin an Retention Gunjan
32/66
Managing the problems of Attrition
There is no sure-fire solution to control attrition. The only way out is to
manage it well. This can be done by having cautious hiring with proper
systems and processes in place to ensure that only the right talent are indicted
into the company. Those found lacking in particular skills or competence
should be informed of the expectations from them and put through a training
process. Continuous skills up gradation opportunities should also be provided
to good employees for their growth and development. Career management,
ESOPs, increments, rewards and ambience are significant retention
measures, reminding that both kinds of attrition are unhealthy for business.
When productive people leave it is understandable bad, but even desirable
attrition happens (after crossing six to seven months), it definitely impacts the
business. It is loss of opportunity and investment gone badly.
Consequently organizations have tried their best to ensure that attrition is kept
below the industry average. Today an employee is clear on his needs and
what he wants out of the job. This makes the function of employee life cycle
management more critical and one that requires more attention and focus. By
carefully tuning and aligning employee aspirations with the companys overall
objectives, to a large extent, attrition can be substantially reduced, StatedNair
Curbing the problem from the root stage; the top management should
continuously focus on the issue and implement effective recruitment and
retention measures

DATA COLLECTION
We studied the exit forms and captured the data from them to analyze the
major reasons of attrition in the organization. Thought we were not allowed toconduct any climate survey in the organization, we interviewed the HR
professionals of various divisions. A specimen of the exit forms is attached in
the Annexure.
We studied 34 exit interview forms.
DATA ANALYSIS
Present Attrition Rate of the Organization
The present attrition rate for the financial year 2008-09 is calculated from the
date provided the organization. The data is attached in the Annexure. We
have taken in account only the employees in Transmission Line, Distribution
and Bio Mass division.
The rate of attrition comes out to be:
Quarter1- 2.5%
Quarter2- 4.0%
Quarter3- 3.5%
Quarter4- 3.0%
This is quite below the industry average. However, the management at JHPL
is still worried as it is much higher when compared to the rate of attrition of
past few years. The increase in sudden movement of valuable employees out
of the organization has led the management to look into this issue
.
8/14/2019 Attritin an Retention Gunjan
35/66
Major Factors Responsible for Attrition
Amongst the reasons mentioned in the exit forms, following are the reasons
that occurred with maximum frequency:
1. Family/personal Reasons
2. Better Job Opportunities
3. Position
4. Career Change
5. Relocation
6. Salary/Bonus/Benefits
7. Work Culture
8. Health
9. Organizational Issues
10. Types of work/job skills
Family and Personal Reasons:
Most of the organizations workforces deployed at the organisation locations
which are usually locations. Thus family reasons such as health of parent,
marriage, childrens education etc. are factors that cause attrition. Though, the
locations cannot b changed, the organization can invest in making the
employees family; of amid day to day activities easier at the hotel. Also,
before assigning someone to any task, his/her fitment to the job and location
should be checked.
8/14/2019 Attritin an Retention Gunjan
36/66
Career Change:
The propensity to change the line of job is found in the line of job is found in
the employees leaving he organization. This may be because the job is very
demanding and hazardous. It is also considered to be difficult due to the
remote locations.
Better Job Opportunities
A major issue that came up after studying the exit form was the non-clarity of
the job description and profile. A Finance manager, for example, was
assigned a job in Human Resource department with a promise of transfer to
the suitable profile later. The promise however wasnt fulfilled. This is one of
the major causes of dissatisfaction among the employees. Also the profile
keeps on changing and there is no proper communication to the employee, all
this leads the employee to change the job for a similar but better opportunity.
Moreover JHPL is a small unit and is not a chain of hotels or a very big group
so the employees in order to get a good career growth also leave JHPL in
case they get a better opportunity. For Eg Oberoi groups, Tata group etc.

Organizational Issues
For any organization to flourish and to run smoothly it is important that good
relation is maintained between the superiors and the subordinates. In everyorganizations some or the other organizational issues occur which results into
discontentment as a result of which the employee feel difficult to work with the
same boss and therefore leave the job.
Job Satisfaction
While recruitment process is the duty of the management to keenly observe
the employee that he /she is capable of executing that particular responsibility
or is qualified as per the requirement of the job.
They should make sure that they have appointed the right man at right place.
People often are not satisfied with their job and therefore are not able to work
efficiently and leave the job.
Location of the Work Place
Location of the place of work is another important factor responsible for the
employees for leaving their job. People prefer that their place of work should
be located near to their residence. Moreover people prefer to work in an
organization which provides the accommodation facility.
Transfer
People leave the job if they are transferred to a place which is not suitable to
them. Transfer also leads to a complete change in the working atmosphere.
Change in any thing at once is resisted by all. This resistance to change
sometimes leads to attrition.

Salary
Money is the most essential thing for everybody in todays scenario. People
leave for greener pastures. If the people are offered higher packages than
they leave the current job. However, it is not a major reason and the
organizations pay philosophy is very much clear to the management and the
employees. JHPL does revise its pay structures regularly though.
These are the major reasons for the employees leaving their job at JHPL
Employees are an asset to an organization so we need to retain these
employees.
Various measures and policies should be adopted in order to retain the
employees.

RECOMMENDATION
Keeping good people is never easy, Employment is about relationships-specifically the relationship between an individual with changing needs,
increasing experience, growing knowledge, and intellectual capital and an
organization that exists in a changing marketplace with ever evolving needs, to
maintain the employment relationship, and employers have a huge
responsibility. First of all, they need to clearly know who their best employees
are. They also need to keep their employees informed, help them maintain
and develop skills, and encourage them to build networks and internalrelationships, None of these things casts much when compared to the cost of
recruiting and developing new employees, and none of these are really very
hard to do, But to put them into place does require a change of mindset and a
willingness to break (or at least stretch) the usual policies and rules that exist
in JHPL, Good HR and good recruiting is, after all, about treating people fairly
- but not necessarily the same Raising the bar through talent acquirement
Here are those few requirements for building lasting loyalty and a strong
employee-employer relationship:
Have a performance management system that works.
Let employees know where they stand and how they are performing, Offer the
opportunity to move within the company to jobs that may fit their skills and
interests better, Keep the bureaucracy to a minimum and remove time
constrictions. A major reason for employee .unease and anger is insecurity
over how their performance will be assessed; Very few employees have
strategic performance objectives or spend time periodically reviewing their
achievements with their boss.

Keep employees informed.
Silence is the greatest enemy of retention, when management does not
update the employees on the financial and business state of the company and
when rumors can be counted by the minute, turnover goes up and productivity
goes down. While some people (usually the "B'1 and "C" players) hunker down
and hide, the best ones start looking. We can't tell you how many excellent
employees who are highly valued have left their employers because of
business uncertainty. No one expects assurances or guarantees; what they
hope for is an understanding of trends. Are things better, the same, or worse?
Are customers leaving? How is sales volume?
Relationships thrive on the exchange of information, the organization also
needs conduits for employees to let them know about changes in their
development, classes taken, and new skills acquired, Employees want the
employers to use this information to help them find promotions or new
positions within the organization that will offer them a greater challenge or
more financial incentive. The two-way communication between employer and
employees is as critical as performance management.
Educate employees all the time.
In bad times, employees have time to soak up new information; Education and
development are the cheapest retention tools in your arsenal. We are in a
talent war (even if that's hard to see right now) and everything has to be tried,
Locking people into degree or certificate programs is almost a guarantee that
they will remain with your firm until they complete the program, Most will be
loyal and thankful. And all of them will be better educated and hopefully more
productive employees. This is a big plus for large organizations, and you
should be capitalizing on this right now. But development can also occur
through on-the-job development and through many informal networks and
conversations. Every employer should encourage employees to transfer to
different positions frequently and institute rewards for managers who let their
people go to other departments and who focus on developing their staff. Many
employees who leave organizations are simply looking for a bigger challenge

or the opportunity to use a new skills or degree, Smart organizations will
encourage this and motivate managers to source and hire internally whenever
possible - even if it will require a bit of training.
Help every employee build a social network.
Employees are frequently devoted to fellow employees and feel strong
attachments to them. This is what keeps many people from job hopping, We
all know how powerful networks are, and companies that actively promote
employee interaction and teamwork have less discontent and less turnover
than those that keep employees apart or at odds,
We recommend starting clubs and social groups within the company that work
and play together, some companies form college clubs for new college grads
that help them become oriented to the firm and meet other new hires. This
tends to raise the level of commitment they have to the organization and
reduces turnover,
Internal networks are powerful binding devices, Encouraging internal bogging,
the use of virtual communications tools like SMS or IM, and the use of video
conferencing. These can strengthen networks and extend them globally,
Knowledge is a powerful retention tool, and naivety and ignorance can best be
combated by sharing of ideas and experiences between people from many
different firms,
There us nothing that we have written here that is new, Employee retention is
about applying the Golden Rule: do for employees what you want done for
yourself, it is 90% common sense.
Accommodation for the employees
8/14/2019 Attritin an Retention Gunjan

Many employees leave the job due to the location of the job or due to
the family being at far place so in order to retain such employees the
organization should provide the employees with the accommodation
facility so that the employees can live with their family. Medical facility
should also be provided to the employees to ensure their better health.

Thus for building up high engagement levels in the organization, HR
department should first try to determine the current level of employee
engagement. The best tool to determine this is a comprehensive employee
engagement survey. A well administered engagement survey lets an
organization know at what level of engagement its employees are operating, a
customizable employee survey provides it with a starting point towards the
efforts to optimize employee engagement, the key to successful employee
engagement surveys is to pay close attention to the feedback from the staff.
However, it is equally important to take actions to improve Employee
Engagement, Taking action starts with listening to employee feedback. Then
the data needs to be analyzed. Next, a definitive action plan will need to be put
in place and finally, change will be implemented, It is important that employee
engagement is not viewed as a one time action. Employee engagement
should be a continuous process of measuring, analyzing, defining and
implementing. Even the smallest actions taken to address concerns will let the
employees know that their input is valued, Feeling valued will boost morale,
motivate and encourage future input. These efforts in turn would work towards
higher satisfaction and loyalty of employees which in turn would reduce
turnover, in such manner; employee engagement can act as an important
retention measure in JHPL.
Conclusion
8/14/2019 Attritin an Retention Gunjan
48/66
As the study conducted I found that my topic attrition which I measure is not
high but ratio of leaving the people is increasing. People are leaving due to
better job opportunities, better allowances and culture. More formal retentionstrategy or methods are needed to be developed to stop the exit of valuable
employees from JHPL Company should focus more on retaining the
employees.
Most business owners and managers think retention is based on
compensation issues-wage and salary levels, incentives, and golden
handcuffswhen in reality the drivers go much deeper into the human psyche
to the actions and attitudes that make employees successful, secure and
appreciate. As a result, a sound retention strategies should focus on and
tactically address four key elements-performance, communication, loyalty and
competitive advantage.
1. Performance: - The benefit of having measurable objectives for
employees fairly obvious to most business owners and managers, but
this perception usually stops short of relating performance metrics to
employee retention. Study after study confirms that people have a
deep desire to feel they are succeeding and that their talents and
capabilities are being used in a way that makes a difference to the
business. When people sense their actions are fulfilling this desire,
they begin to develop a sense of belonging and a feeling that our
company is their company.
2. Communication: - The second essential element in a retention
strategy is communication, especially a communications process thats
8/14/2019 Attritin an Retention Gunjan
49/66
structured to inform, emphasize and reaffirm to employees that their
workplace contributions are having an impact. Since we are dealing
very directly with how employees feel about their performance, the
company and their work environment, the question becomes, how do
you know how they feel about these matters?
Properly done, communication with your staff will provide you with the
insights you need in order to know how your employees feel about
working for your business. An effective and sensitive communications
plan can provide you with insight on exactly whats riving employee
morale and how your staff members feel about your company.
3. Loyalty: - The third element in a successful employee retention
strategy is employee loyalty. True loyalty is not an enforced
requirement but an earned response to the trust, respect and
commitment shown to the individuals in your company. When you
demonstrate loyalty to your employees, theyll begin their employment
with you as loyal employees, but will develop loyalty over time as
theyre trusted, respected and appreciated by you.
4. Competitive advantage: -The fourth and final element in your
strategy to retain employees to do with your competitive advantage.While that may seem odd at first, think about it: People want to work
8/14/2019 Attritin an Retention Gunjan
50/66
for a winner. What sets your company apart from your competition?
How are you- and as a result, your employees- making a difference in
your industry, in your community, and for your customers? Take the
time to identify and inform your clients and your employees about your
unique competitive advantage. If product is similar to others in the
marketplace, your service can be what distinguishes you (probably
should in any case). People want to be with a winner. And that
includes employees.
Together, these four elements can provide you with a retention strategy
capable of producing amazing results. You may even have some of them
already in place, such as performance metrics and a communications process.
The key is to make sure youve integrated all four elements into a strategy for
retaining employees thats grounded in a genuine commitment to serving your
customers and employees well over the long haul
