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.
