If I had to retain top talent, here's
exactly what I would do. Forget pizza
Fridays. Forget snacks in the snack
room. People quit because [music] they
don't feel valued and appreciated. Here
are some points to consider if you want
to make sure people enjoy working at
your company. And stay for as [music]
long as they can. So, number one, make
sure you appreciate them. Not just once
a year at the holiday party where you're
saying, "Oh, we wouldn't have gotten
here without the team." Genuinely, you
see someone's going out of their way to
do something that's not necessarily part
of their job description, [music] give
them a call and say, "Thank you. I
appreciate it. I know you don't have to
do this. I saw that you did it. I
[music] just want to tell you that I
appreciate it." Number two, give
responsibilities, not tasks. Let them
own [music] the outcomes versus the
checklist. And number three, create an
environment [music]
where they enjoy and appreciate and feel
proud of the work that they do.
Retention is not about payraises and
perks. [music] Well, maybe a little bit
about payraises, let's be honest. But if
you want to keep your people, make sure
it's a place where people feel
respected, trusted, proud to stay.
[music] I hope you enjoyed that video.
CX them.
