What Employees Want

In an article written by Karin Combs, she said that of her clients with the lowest employee turnover, the following were the characteristics they had in common:

  1. Being known as “A Great Place to Work”, no matter how large or small. Moral and ethical conduct is considered a core value.
  2. Sharing the company’s goals, financial status, and growth with the entire organization. People can take bad news; it’s NO news that is scary.
  3. Investing in the training of their people.
  4. Encouraging feedback (internally and externally). Then truly listening.
  5. Conducting consistent performance reviews.
  6. Recognize and rewarding results. Even a ‘thank you’ goes a long way.

Pretty good stuff. Biblically based. To read the rest of the article, go here.
