KEEP THEM! -- Don't Let
Your Best People Get Away

Nine Tips To Help
You Keep Good People

  1. Beware of anything that can become an entitlement,
    because it can become expensive and you may not need it.

  2. Develop processes by which people can increase their
    employability in the areas of competencies, skills and
    intellectual growth.

  3. Use special projects as incentives or rewards.

  4. Have a positive corporate environment in which you
    frequently give out well-considered "thank-yous". They
    can range from trips to a one-time bonus. These foster
    employee development.

  5. Realize that retention of valued people is a long-term
    process, not a knee-jerk reaction.

  6. Create a consistent corporate culture in which managers
    communicate corporate vision and values uniformly to employees.

  7. Build in rewards for supervisors and managers who keep
    good people.

  8. Use exit interviews to obtain important data that will
    provide information about your organization.

  9. Provide anonymous suggestion programs to make workers
    understand their ideas make a difference.
