The hot summer sun is sizzling here in Idaho!
But our thoughts are on the upcoming fall season when so many of you planstrategies to implement for the new year.
Our focus is driven by your needs and we’re hearing loudly expressed concerns about why good people don’t stay around for longer periods of time; what happened to loyalty and is there anything we could/should do to revive it?
So this newsletter is largely devoted to the topic of retaining your winning talent…
Article #1Are Your Workers Jumping Ship? – “…Many fear that upwards of 50%-60% of American workers will seize on the first opportunity to jump ship…”
Article #2Retaining Winning Talent – What are the “tricks” to holding onto those people we don’t want to lose? We certainly focus enough attention on the low performing employees, but what do we do to identify and plan to retain the winners?
Special Offer - the combined purchase of the Hiring Wining Talent and Retaining Winning Talent programs is available at great savings
Article #3Summer Sizzle – amazing opportunity to license an entire library of online learning for all of your employees!

Are Your Workers Jumping Ship?

The Business Issue
“As the economy approaches another expansionary period and the labor markets tighten, many fear that upwards of 50%-60% of American workers will seize on the first opportunity to jump ship.” – Human Capital Institute (HCI).
Shari is a nurse recently hired by a major hospital in a major-market area. She is a single mom and has worked at two other competing hospitals in the last 10 years. Shari has been recognized for her service as a star performer.

In her new job, Shari’s employer offered her more money and a chance for more flexible shifts. After two weeks on the job, Shari had still not been placed on the schedule they promised her. She tried to talk to the floor supervisor, but was told to be patient. Three months later, Shari began having trouble at home juggling the work schedule, and still she had no flexible shifts. Shari confronted her supervisor at the main desk to explain her situation:
“I can’t continue to work these hours. This isn’t what I was told I would be working. I’ve let it go before now, but I just can’t any more,” Shari said.

Article #2
Retaining Winning Talent
|
|
|
What a course! For the classroom, this is eight hours devoted to YOUR situation, combining learning the best practices for holding on to winning talent with developing strategies for YOUR organization and individual team leaders.
Most team leaders are unaware of the total disruptive and financial nature of the loss of a valued team member. Hidden costs and impacts are often overlooked. For example, a team member doesn’t normally just up and leave an organization. A team member actually considers leaving three to six months before resigning, and productivity declines because the individual is no longer a committed team member. This impacts other team members and team morale.
Also, most team leaders need to realize the significant leverage that they have to combat turnover. Retaining Winning Talent helps team leaders accept that, in the majority of situations, team members quit their team leader, not their organization. Then Retaining Winning Talent helps that leader take productive steps to retain team members.
The program provides skills, tools, and a research-based approach that helps team leaders rate the attrition risk of each team member, surface individual team members’ retention needs, increase the level of commitment from each team member, and, most importantly, develop and implement a Retention Action Plan designed to increase retention for the entire team…
