Give Them Something To Do
\nWe\u2019ve also seen that the biggest category of turnover is found at the entry level position. Often, the company simply hasn\u2019t made an effort to make these positions attractive. They haven\u2019t tied these entry-level positions to clear opportunities for advancement. They haven\u2019t dressed them up with explanations of why these jobs matter. They just expect people to keep coming in and filling empty seats and empty spaces.<\/p>\n
Battling turnover means giving everyone a mission-critical job, and respecting them for doing it. Otherwise, your company is going to lose out to others with corporate cultures that invite everyone to get engaged in the business.<\/p>\n
Explain the Job
\nAnother big reason for turnover is that the job wasn\u2019t adequately explained beforehand. Someone comes in and interviews and gets the job, and when they arrive, they realized it wasn\u2019t what was described to them. This can be massively frustrating, and as some HR professionals have learned, the ripple effect from this can drag down an entire department.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s also the \u2018blank slate\u2019 phenomenon, where a job just doesn\u2019t get described all. In these kinds of cases, a new employee can feel like a square peg being pounded into a round hole.<\/p>\n
It starts with HR really looking at the open job position, and being able to define it and explain it in ways that will attract the right candidates who are going to stick around for the long haul.<\/p>\n
