Better compensation and benefits are the top methods of employee retention, according to a survey by Manchester Partners International, a human resources consulting firm with 145 offices across America. [This same conclusion was covered in Monday’s WSJ as well.] Respondents from the 400 U.S. companies surveyed also revealed other factors that will keep employees from leaving:
· Careful selection in hiring [and I look forward to helping you on this point.]
· Tuition reimbursement [employees want to learn and grow.]
· Stock options [employees want skin in the game.]
· Profit sharing [employees want skin in the game.]
· Casual dress code [employees enjoy work / life balance.]
· Improved training [employees want to learn and grow.]
· Flexible hours [employees enjoy work / life balance.]
