Avoid employee turnover by creating an engaging recruitment and employee management process.

For all sizes and types of businesses, employee engagement is important. It will provide your company with motivated people, fresh ideas, and a goal-oriented workforce that is aligned to the company’s culture, values, and objectives. The key is to maintain productivity and reduce employee turnover.

However, it takes time, money, and effort to build a high level of employee engagement. So, instead of engaging the employees when they are already working, it is better to add engagement into the recruitment process to save resources and ensure that you are selecting the right candidate.

Social Media Networks

The use of social media for the recruitment process is a must and is one of the most powerful recruitment tools out there. The use of LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram to communicate your job opportunities and company culture will increase candidate engagement and preselection, reducing the amount of time from the initial contact to the interview process. Also, the use of free social media is a cost-effective tool for your company.

Successful Interviews

In most cases, the interview is where you will meet a candidate face-to-face. This gives you a chance to assess in person whether he or she is the best candidate for your opportunity. Always give the candidate a chance to assess if your company is right for him or her not only by asking questions for the position, but also by encouraging questions from the candidate. When you follow this process, the candidate is engaging into your company process, and it will help form a stronger relationship from the start.

Communication is key.

A vital aspect of good employee engagement is having strong communication and interaction between all members of the company. Maintaining open channels of communication, keeping your employees in the loop over important aspects and changes in the company, and including all members in projects by asking for ideas, advice, and support is a good post-recruitment process. The open exchange of ideas can help to reduce employee turnover.

Ensure employee development.

The best way to keep your employees within your organization is by creating a personalized development plan. Learning and training paths can be used to ensure your team members continually develop their knowledge and skills. Regular payroll adjustments and economical promotions are effective methods to avoid losing good talent and motivate employees to stay with your company.

Appreciate the achieved goals.

When a major goal, milestone, or project has been achieved, giving a company-wide congratulation is one way to inspire the employees and show that you appreciate their hard work. Showing the employees that success is something that can happen within the organization is a way to engage them to continue working for the company and for the team.

Job Satisfaction

Job satisfaction is the last part of the recruitment process. After you hire a candidate and she or he is on-boarded, the human resources and payroll departments should work on employee retention by focusing on job satisfaction. As a new hire progresses in the company and achieves goals, ensure that she or he is sufficiently engaged by their duties and continues to feel that the job assignment is the right fit. Consider reassignment if the expertise of the employee is not being utilized to the fullest in the current position. This will provide the employee a path to be passionate about work and success, and the company will experience a reduction in employee turnover, achieving greater results in the recruitment process.
