Attrition Management: Retaining vs. fresh hiring

Recruiting new hires can be costly for companies in terms of time and money.
Employee turnover can be a headache for companies of all sizes. Regardless of economic conditions or the unemployment rate, the days of employees working their entire lives for a single company are long gone. According to All Business, employees will changes jobs every three to four years on average and may change careers three times in their lives.
Cost of Hiring
There are both hard and soft costs associated with employee turnover. Some costs are fixed and others are variable, depending on the position and required skill set. The cost to hire a low-skilled hourly worker is approximately half of the annual salary. As skill levels and positions increase, so does the cost of replacement. Replacing a C-level executive can cost three to five times the positions annual salary
Other Consideration
In addition to hard costs, such as advertising the position, interviewing, recruitment and related fees, there are soft costs. These include costs such as lost productivity and training. Typically, a new employee takes weeks or even months to fully learn the role and all of its associated duties. A task that takes a tenured employee 10 minutes may likely take your new hire two hours.
Retention Challenges
With the anticipated growing turnover rate, retaining good employees becomes an ongoing challenge. Calculate the value of your employees to your company. Every employee in successful companies generates more revenue than their respective salaries. Net worth of sales representatives and managers can be fives times greater than their annual salaries, according to JDA Professional Services. Once you understand the value of your employees to your company, you can make informed decisions on how much to spend to retain them.
Workplace Culture
Creating the right workplace culture is key to retaining good employees. Compensation is not always the primary motivator to employees to remain in their jobs. According to Entrepreneur.com, there are three factors that contribute to employees perceptions that a company is a great place to work--trust, pride and joy. Employees must trust management, be able to take pride in their work and enjoy their co-workers.
Keeping the Best
One of the easiest ways to avoid the high cost of turnover and keep your best employees is to hire the right people from the start. Avoid the urge to fill a vacant position quickly simply because its vacant. Take time to do a thorough search and dedicate the necessary time to the interview process. Involve other managers and department heads in the interview. This is particularly important in small companies in which employees tend to work more closely.

Attract good people, retain the better people and advance the best people

PROVIDE COMPETITIVE BENEFITS
In ordinary economic times, benefits are not always the chief consideration for job-seekers. During shaky economic situations, competitive benefits are far more important to workers. Companies unwilling to match or at least approximate the salaries offered elsewhere are quite likely going to lose their best talent to their better-paying competitors. Besides salary, potential or current employees also weigh holiday time, life insurance, retirement plans, and more when looking for a job. It is wise for internal HR departments to keep a close eye on the benefits that competitors are paying and adjust what they offer accordingly.
OFFER REGULAR PROMOTION OPPORTUNITIES
At our company we have proper career planning and promotion policy for all the employees. At the time of appraisal the Plant Head and Chief Operating Officer of the company tries to figure out the potential leaders through skill gap analysis. This helps us to fill the vacancies through internal resource. Job rotation is done for the employees at lower level. Job Rotation helps the employees to get experience in the all department and acquire new skills. This gives new
GIVE OPPORTUNITIES FOR CAREER ADVANCEMENT
Skilled employees are looking for ways to better themselves through better education and training, and businesses can attract and retain the best talent if they help their employees improve their skills. Sending employees to training courses on a regular basis and providing tuition reimbursement will attract good workers and keep them around for years to come.
VALUE EMPLOYEE INPUT
At ISMT Ltd we give our employees several platforms to give their suggestions and inputs. We have several suggestion schemes and open forums where the employees are given opportunity to give suggestions and inputs. Also, we have started an initiative for young managers called “Coffee with CEO”.
AIM FOR DIVERSITY
Younger workers are especially looking for a diverse workplace because of their experience growing up in a diverse world. Having people from a variety of different backgrounds will attract young talented workers.
