Hiring Wisdom: The Top 10 Ways to Reduce Employee Turnover

In order to minimize employee turnover, you’ve got to:


1.  Hire tough. Set high standards and never lower the bar;


2.  Let new employees know why their jobs are important;


3.  Never think: ”It’s just an entry-level job.” Those jobs most directly impact your customers experiences;


4.  Pay the highest wages you can afford. When you pay more, you can expect and get more;


5.  Give the first pay raise as soon as the new employee deserves a raise, not on pre-set time schedule, but on a productivity or learning schedule;


6.  Give recognition when recognition is deserved;


7.  Train for process, not for speed;


8.  Help the new employee make friends at work;


9.  Make work FUN;


10. Learn to fail fast. When you make a hiring mistake, cut your losses immediately.
