Experts
have stated that finding the appropriate job involves more than just salary in
light of viral workplace trends like "the great resignation" and
"silent resigning."
According
to Tibet Eriolu, VP of the Adecco Group, a provider of worldwide HR solutions,
"a strong work-life balance is increasingly crucial." In fact, over
25 percent of employees who leave their employment take positions with lower
salary in exchange for benefits like a better workplace culture.
People
have been leaving their jobs or quietly quitting over the past couple of years
because they are so unsatisfied with their jobs, the expert added.
According
to Niousha Ehsan, a certified life coach, mentor, and advocate for leadership
and workplace culture, many are quietly leaving their jobs to prevent burnout.
"When
workers are unfulfilled, they only want to accomplish the absolute minimum to
do the job. Instead of giving their all to be the greatest at what they do,
they are unwilling to go above and beyond, and work becomes a checklist to get
the job done," explained Ehsan, the chief energy officer of LINKVIVA, a
company based in Dubai.
How to retain talent
Workplace boundaries: No work after work
hours
Managers
might enforce work limits and guidelines for absolutely no emails or work calls
after work hours, according to Eriolu, which could help to lessen the scenario
of people resigning quietly.
Celebrate employees
Ehsan
asserts that leaders and employers should foster an atmosphere where people act
"because they want to, not because they have to,"
"Employers
can retain talent by recognizing their people, offering a great work
environment — where employees are delighted to come to work and feel confident
voicing their thoughts — and providing plenty of opportunities for employees to
grow and step up with assistance," said one expert.
Questions to ponder over
According
to her, issues that employees may encounter at work typically center on the
culture of the organization and the personal circumstances of the employees.
Employers
should reflect on these issues:
Are
personnel chosen for the appropriate position?
Have
they have opportunities for advancement with a clear trajectory?
New employee experiences
Companies
need to develop fresh employee experiences, says Eriolu.
With
employees, talk about what can be done to help them feel valued, as well as to
assist them gain new skills and take on new tasks that will help them advance
their careers. The first step to high employee retention is to establish a
trustworthy and open relationship with them, one in which they feel free to
talk about their stress levels, workloads, and even how comfortable they are
working in teams and with coworkers."
Boost employees' wellbeing
He
emphasized that the organizational culture should include a focus on employee
well-being. In order to build inclusive settings, employers also need to take
into account their working procedures, calendars, and physical space.
