What do employees really want? Initially, you may think money is the only motivating factor; however, high-performing employees are searching for something more than just a high salary. Today’s workforce also desires flexibility in their job, balance in their life, and more.

With the high cost of turnover and difficulty finding quality applicants, employee retention should be a top priority from the very beginning.

The onboarding orientation period is a great place to focus heavily on retention efforts. Throughout employment, employees want a challenging job where they are motivated and engaged with incentives and rewards that make sense. Some reward examples are: provide a day off with pay, provide tickets to sports, music or cultural events, take out an ad thanking employees for their hard work and contributions, donation to a charity in an employee’s name, have their car detailed during work, pay for their house to be cleaned, or pay for an evening out for two- including babysitting.

This course reviews the I.C.E. Strategy and Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs to help guide decisions. As time nears to refill an employee's shoes, having a well thought out succession plan in place can alleviate the pains that come from rushing to find another valuable employee.

Why should you Attend: Attending this training will help you and your team grow professional skills and discover how to work towards continued success for yourself, your team, and your organization. It will help you to advance your current success, boost your chances to meet your future goals and aspirations, and to inspire others to follow your lead.

Further, this course will help your team better understand company-wide expectations of individuals and teams to achieve desired results. When workplaces incorporate these cultural principles, the work environment becomes a place to look forward to coming into with enthusiasm.

If developing your skills aren't prioritized by you or your organization, you risk individual, team, department, and organizational failure without everyone reaching their full potential.
