Workforce
Retention is a Challenge for All Types of Organizations.
Retaining a
quality workforce continues to be a growing challenge among organizations
today. Organizations of all types—private, non-profit, and
public agencies all struggle with the same issue---how to retain
key team members in order to accomplish its objectives. While sales
and profits may be the number one objective for organizations, retention
is becoming their number one priority.

Workforce
Retention is a Complex Equation.
Wage and salary
issues are only one part of a larger picture of workforce retention.
Other factors such as recognition, opportunities for learning and
development, organization culture, management style and supervisory
relationship play an important part in retaining quality team members.

Supervision:
First Level and Second Level
Today, most
companies target their first level of supervision as the key component
to workforce retention.Interestingly, while the first level supervisor
is a key component in helping a team move forward, the role of the
second level supervisor is also important. When the skills of the
first level supervisor appear to be lacking, in most cases team
members will temporarily accept the condition as long as their second
level supervisor can serve as a sounding board to offer counsel
and encouragement. In the absence of a positive role model of a
second level supervisor, retention becomes problematic.

Will Help You Keep Your Good People…
An Employee
Retention Profile© has been developed to assist today’s
management teams to better understand the following:
- factors
which attract team members to the organization,
- factors
which tend to retain valued team members, and
- factors
which create tension in the workplace.
A sampling of
the themes in the Employee Retention Profile© include:
Mission
Vision Values -- to what extent do team members support the
direction of the organization? Having a workforce that is aligned
with the direction of the organization is an important retention
factor.
Role of
Supervision -- a better understanding of the impact of the
first level and second level of supervision is needed in order
for team to move ahead.
Learning
Organization -- to what extent does the organization provide
opportunities for learning and development in order to assist
team members address a dynamic marketplace?
Retention Is
a Process
Instead of considering
workforce retention as an event, VisionQuest Associates considers
workforce retention as a process that includes assessment, intervention,
and post assessment conducted in the context of continuous improvement.
This process helps establish base line data, outlines intervention
to include targeted training and development, and reviews changes
that may have occurred between pre and post assessment.
Retention Is
a Personal Process
The Employee
Retention Profile© is administered personally at the employers’
on-site location rather than via Internet. This process underscores
VisionQuest’s commitment to personal customer service. After
participants complete the Employee Retention Profile ©, the
results are explained then placed on a graph to view their results.
Time is allocated during the workshop for team members to devise
a plan of action to be discussed later with their supervisor.
Retention Is
an Organizational Process
Survey results
from anonymous team members are included in a team report, which
is placed in a corporate report. The corporate report includes the
results from all teams. These comprehensive reports are included
with our powerful Employee Retention Profile© workshop.
