In this tight job market and with all categories of businesses vying for the best talent, the most essential thing employers can do right now is SHOW GRATITUDE to your employees. Hanging on to great people is everything, especially heading into another unknown Fall with world health conditions. Employee recognition is more important than ever…think about it: people don’t leave jobs where they feel appreciated; let them know they matter.

Countless business publications are citing retaining top talent as one of the most important challenges for the remainder of 2021 and into 2022. Meanwhile, what younger workers are looking for in an employer is also evolving. They want employers who give them a sense of purpose that is aligned with their own. And they want to feel that they matter.

A recent survey reveals that a culture of recognition yields employees that feel 5x more inclined to stay and feel valued. While some may scoff this as a ‘soft, fuzzy’ idea, the data is very strong to indicate that when an employee feels engaged and recognized, they are far more likely to be committed to doing a good job, being loyal to their manager and team, and embracing the mission of the organization.

The bottom line: THIS MATTERS TO YOUR TEAM. And if you want the best people, it needs to matter to you, too. Because it’s worth it. Because you’ll keep your best people. You’ll attract exceptional talent —and they’ll deliver for you. And it creates a better quality of life for everyone.

We’ll help you retain your best team so you are poised for a successful second half of 2021.
