Much is being made of the Great Resignation: statistics show that September 2021 set a record for voluntary resignations. Rather than fret over this trend, companies are finding ways to stem this tide: one of the best ways is to let your best performers know how much you appreciate them by outlining a career path for their success. Those best performers are ambitious and that’s not a dirty word: they believe in themselves and their abilities and hope their bosses do as well. This is a significant change from the past when promotions were a long time in coming. Employees today have lots of options: with all the current job openings, they can pretty much find opportunities anywhere. Your job is to show them their best options are with you and your company: talk to them about their goals and map out a plan to get them there. Yesterday, organizations were inflexible; now they must move roles, responsibilities, and schedules around to maximize employees’ interests and expectations. They must trust employees with more autonomy by clearly outlining expectations and giving lots of feedback. Let employees learn and do more and then recognize them for those achievements: that’s far less work (and chaos) than dealing with lots of resignations. Turn the Great Resignation into Great Retention with increased flexibility and career coaching today.
