Staff retention woes lay ahead as jobs market starts to recover

Staff who have either grabbed ’stop-gap’ jobs during the recession, or are demotivated following redundancies or restructuring, will be looking to switch jobs as soon as they can, according to employers’ groups.

Why us?

In these recession-biting times, more and more companies are cutting staff and training budgets and expecting remaining employees to carry on as normal. The combination of the threat of redundancy, extra workloads and over-stretched, inadequate, management support is taking its toll, leaving many depressed, fearful and sick members of staff. Loyalty is decreasing, apathy is increasing and yet senior management teams choose to bury their heads in the sand and not acknowledge what’s going on at grass roots level.

The result is unhappy employees whose lack of enthusiasm and engagement will translate into poor customer service and have a knock-on effect on your bottom line. As you rein in your spending further you will lose more credibility, respect and loyalty from employees and customers alike. Now more than ever we need to invest in good employees. Many staff members are fearful of the future, which does not bode well for productivity or performance.

In today’s economic climate, investing in your management and ensuring that communication is improved throughout your organisation makes perfect sense. Now, more than ever before, good management skills are essential. All managers need to know how to steer their employees through this recession and come out the other side stronger.

Now, ask yourself the following questions:

  • If your staff walk out, where does that leave you?
  • Do you really want to start recruiting all over again, at substantial cost?
  • How can staff be expected to work effectively with the real or perceived threat of redundancy hanging over them?
  • Even if they survive “cut backs” or restructuring, how will they cope with the extra hours and stress which is likely to be placed upon them?
  • Are your employees working long hours or coming into work when they are ill?
  • Has your organisation got the resources to cope?
