The Battle to Retain Top Talent
Holly Acosta
We are in a war to retain employees like never before. How do local businesses compete against companies that are offering starting wages at $15 to $20 hour with benefits and sign on bonuses?!! How do we even compare and not lose the workforce we have?
Texas is leading the nation in the number of workers that are quitting. A total of 439,000 Texas workers gave their notice last month. That's 14,633 Texas workers every day according to the new data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. 55% of workers say they are going to quit within the next 12 months. So, how do we help them want to stay?
COVID has brought change to employees who are now looking for work flexibility, higher pay, and stability. Holly will address ways of building your Company culture and letting the public know what it is, how to apply work flexibility to your business, the value of employee recognition and communication, navigating difficult employee questions from disability to harassment, inventive incentives, and when you should say goodbye.
