The hiring process has become drawn out and costly for many companies today, therefore, it is important that you find ways to keep your new hires happy so they will stick around for a long time. Happy employees are typically great for your hiring process, which helps with not only retention, but with your overall hiring costs.
Here are a few ways you can keep your new hires happy and increase your retention rates:
- Most employees today are looking for challenges, and a feeling of belonging. They want to feel like they make a difference, therefore, it is important that you understand why you need each employee. Each employee brings something different and each has a unique reason why they are important. Take the time to know what that reason is for each employee, and then communicate to them your understanding of their importance.
- Make sure that you “roll out the red carpet” at the appropriate times. Show your employees, especially the new hires, just how much you care about them and their success. It is important that you take the time to converse with your employees, and personally introduce new hires to others.
- Communication is the number one reason why employees and new hires often leave positions. It is critical to a happy workforce that the communication throughout your company be the number one priority. Make sure that communication is clear, open, and available for everyone!
- Culture has become extremely important in the workplace today. It is important that you embrace and support the culture you are trying to portray. Foster relationships, support company outings, and communicate your culture for others to see.
- Micromanaging is a touchy subject with many companies, however, those companies that have learned to not micromanage, have the happiest employees. It is one thing to supervisor and manage, but quite another to micromanage. Make sure you know the difference!
Learn how to keep your new hires happy and you will see your retention rates skyrocket. It all starts with you and understanding what your employees and job candidates want from you!
