Onboarding new employees is a costly business. There\u2019s the time it takes to recruit, the resources required to do the paperwork, and when you factor in visa fees and other business costs, hiring new staff can be a downright money drain. So if retaining talent is imperative to a healthy bottom line, what\u2019s the key to hiring people and keeping them?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not about money<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a surprising statistic for you: salary is NOT the main reason that employees leave their jobs. One survey found that only 12% of job leavers stated higher pay as their motivation. If you\u2019re struggling with a high turnover of staff, having a think about their other needs could go a long way to saving on those recruitment costs.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s about value<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Employees want to feel valued, secure, and content in their work. Some of the biggest contributing factors to fostering a happy, satisfied workforce include:<\/p>\n

\n
• The opportunity for development and professional growth\\<\/li>\n
• Recognition and reward, both individually and as a team<\/li>\n
• A positive culture with a sense of camaraderie<\/li>\n
• A pleasant working environment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  Ultimately, if you want people to invest themselves in your company, you need to show that you are invested in them as people.<\/p>\n
