How to Retain Your Best Employees

[Holicent]

If you're a small business owner, the best way to retain employees is to make sure they feel appreciated and valued.

That's not always easy when you have limited resources and a lot of work to do. But if you're willing to work hard, it is doable.

Here are some tips on how to retain your best employees:

1. Show your appreciation for their hard work

Give them frequent thank-you cards or emails that acknowledge the good things they do for your company or customers. You can also send them gift cards for restaurants or entertainment so they can take a break from work and enjoy themselves.

2. Make sure they know how well they're doing

One of the best ways to keep employees happy is by letting them know how well they're performing at work. If you notice that an employee is consistently performing above expectations, send him or her a handwritten note or email just thanking him or her for their efforts in the past week, month or quarter (whatever timeframe works best). This will show that you appreciate everything he or she does for your company without going overboard by giving him or her too much credit for what he or she does on any given day.

The best way to retain your best employees is to keep their skills and knowledge up-to-date. The most important thing you can do is to offer training courses that are relevant, interesting, and useful.

Training can be informal or formal — it's up to you, as the manager. But make sure that every employee has access to high-quality training.

If your company doesn't have any formal training programs in place yet, start small and build on them over time. For example, if you have a system administrator who's been with the company for many years, you might want to create a "Changes Made by" list on her computer so she can see all the changes she made during that period of time. This way she'll know what's changed and why it's changed — this will help her stay current on new technologies as well as on any other aspects of her job that might be changing over time (such as information security policies).

Above all, Make sure that they're compensated fairly. This means paying them enough so that they don't feel like they're working for free, but not so much that they start looking elsewhere for opportunities.
