Retaining Talent in the Great Stability

It's a long time coming, but employees want to stay with you. That's what we're going to explore in this episode of HR mornings 3. 0, the so-called great stability. Turns out it's the culture to have, according to the researchers at ADP. I would say stability is definitely one of those that like you tend to hear a little bit more about, you know, like we we've heard a lot about stability, career development, so being able to grow your career and have a journey within an organization. I had the opportunity to talk with Tina Wang about ADP's research on how small businesses, or any businesses, can hire and retain employees. One of the things they found, it's not just about money for many employees. People want some comfort knowing their job and their paycheck is stable. But there's a trick to stability. You can't let employees feel stuck, feel bored. What can you do instead? Well, there's definitely opportunities for a rotation, right? As you like rotate people or job shadowing, or stretch assignments, like all of those allow people to learn in a different way while still doing their job, but maybe, you know, like learning a little bit more along the way. It's really about not waiting till the last minute to start. So, like if somebody if I start a job, my the expectation would be that I am somewhat proficient in my role before I start trying to pick up everything else, right? So, like it's being able to demonstrate that. And if you hire somebody with a strong work ethic as well, that work ethic will come in handy cuz they'll want to learn every aspect of the organization. Beyond that, Wang shared a stability idea from another small company she knew. Right? Join one of the senior meetings. So, that way they can get some insight and grow and develop in like their own, I'll say, professional and personal journey as well, just to understand the insights of the organization. Um things around connection between the employee and the business. So, go ahead and make the most of the great stability. You'll want to emphasize your culture. Remind employees and show job candidates what makes your workplace a stable environment. Help them grow. Give employees ways to advance their careers inside your organization. Try job rotations and job shadowing. Make connections. Invite employees to be part of senior meetings when possible so they can get better insights on their organization.
