Tips on Retaining Good Employees
By admin temp 2 years ago

Unemployment levels are low and due to boarder restrictions, businesses are having a hard time getting and retaining great employees. No one wants your business to suffer or customer service to falter. Here are a few tips and giveaway ideas to keep staff happy and moral high.

1. Be Flexible

Work with your employees’ schedules whether that means working from home, different hours in the office, job sharing etc. Also think about their personal life schedules and give them tools to keep it all together. Items like notebooks , memo pads and erasable notepads

2. Incorporate Fun

These can be stressful times so make time for plenty of breaks and fun activities. Puzzles, games, daily quiz games people play will give them needed breaks. Also focus on their health and outdoor activities. Branded drink bottles, cooling towels and other sports gear will encourage them to stay healthy and active. Plan fun nights out with bowling, golf or hitting a comedy club together. With masks of course.

3. Encourage Creativity

If you get the same questions asked over and over again by clients, encourage staff to make videos or infographics they can easily send to clients to answer these questions. This way they will be more efficient in their work. To reward them for proactive ideas and tasks, reward them with items such as branded coffee cups or tech accessories.

4. Up Your Training

Upskill your employees, it’s a win, win for everyone. Training staff on a variety of jobs and tasks can help when you are short staffed. Train staff to make decisions and take leadership. Some great training giveaways are notebook and pen sets and conference satchels.

5. Give Thanks

More seminars are given these days on how to build a positive business culture and how to get and retain great employees. A simple thank you and gratitude for a job well-done can-do wonders to keep staff motivated. A quality printed promotional product will show appreciation and let people know they are valued. This works equally as well for VIP clients and to allure new loyal customers. Some great products are cooler bags filled with goodies, wine bottles, vacuum drink ware.
