Find belwo few of the tips to attact, retain & motivate your employees:-



Anti-poaching agreements

Better perks

Higher compensation levels

Well-laid career plans essential for retaining employees

Better recruiting methods to filter the right people for right places

Balance between performance expectations and growth aspirations

Offer performance feedback and praise good efforts and results

Pay employees fairly and well - then get them to forget about money

Treat each and every employee with respect. Show them that you care about them as persons, not just as workers

Praise accomplishments and attempts…Both large and small , atleast 4 times more than you "criticize", publicly and in private, verbally and in writing, promptly (as soon as observed)

Clearly communicate goals, responsibilities and expectations. NEVER criticize in public – redirect in private

Recognize performance appropriately and consistently: Reward outstanding performance (e.g., with promotions and opportunities) Do not tolerate sustained poor performance – coach and train or remove!

Involve employees in plans and decisions, especially those that affect them. Solicit their ideas and opinions. Encourage initiative

Create opportunities for employees to learn and grow. Link the goals of the organization with the goals of each individual in it

Actively listen to employees concerns – both work-related and personal

Share information promptly, openly and clearly. Tell the truth… with compassion

Celebrate successes and milestones reached – organizational and personal. Create an organizational culture that is open, trusting and fun!

Select the right people in the first place through behavior-based testing and competency screening. The right person, in the right seat, on the right bus is the starting point.

Offer an attractive, competitive, benefits package with components such as life insurance, disability insurance and flexible hours

Provide opportunities for people to share their knowledge via training sessions, presentations, mentoring others and team assignments

Demonstrate respect for employees at all times

Enable employees to balance work and life. Allow flexible starting times, core business hours and flexible ending times. (Yes, his son's soccer game is important.)

Involve employees in decisions that affect their jobs and the overall direction of the company whenever possible.

Recognize excellent performance, and especially, link pay to performance

Provide opportunities within the company for cross-training and career progression. People like to know that they have room for career movement

Communicate goals, roles and responsibilities so people know what is expected and feel like part of the in-crowd.

Encourage employees to have good, even best, friends, at work

Humor - be Happy And Be Healthy

Availability of effective leadership
