Mental stimulation is a magic key for creative people. Salary compression must also be addressed. As corporations hand out three to seven percent increases, shortages have pushed up salaries as much as 15 to 20 percent per year. It is essential that your management reviews compensation every year and makes appropriate changes when necessary. In the long run, it is more economical to keep your current staff than recruit new employees, not to mention the continuing problem of keeping schedules.
Communications is one of the keys to employee retention.
So, it is imperative that you establish and maintain open and honest communications. Sometimes is it good to take your staff to lunch to discuss methods of improving the department. Little things count. Some of these problems can be solved easily if they are known, so it important to ask your staff if the conditions are appropriate.
