Retention culture is a new and trendy term in the employer market. It is nothing more or less than a corporate culture that makes employees want to (continue to) work at your company.
In other words, nothing new, right???
But with the employee labour market we are still in since Covid-19 (more job openings than available candidates) and with the Big Quit (another new word we invented recently ) every business ?in the world is living through, creating a culture that connects people to your organization is more important than ever.
I recently had a talk with a HR director of a multinational and he called a global retention program for his company one of the priorities for the HR department.
So how do you do that?
There is a lot of research done is still going on the subject. The industry, the size of organisation, its location and the way of working naturally have a lot of influence on what will work for your company and what will not.
The interesting conclusion though that there is a simple (do not confuse with easy) roadmap that practically every company can use:
Is this strategy going to make sure people never leave you again?

I don't think so. And you shouldn't want to?? either. But if a few that are really good stay, you didn't do it for nothing!
And the sooner you start, the better!
' Start the retention process when the person is still open to staying and not when they've already told you they are leaving'.

Good luck!
