Communication In Keeping Employees On-Board
This article at Richmond.com cites a Penna Sanders & Sidney survey with some striking findings: in the UK, a third of employees surveyed began actively looking for a job as soon as they started working for a company, and seven out of 10 said they are always looking for a better opportunity.
The good news: effective internal communication is central to employee retention, and to “creating an environment in which they [employees] feel they can achieve their ambitions without the need to move on.”
We couldn’t agree more; all companies have a relationship with each employee, and the formal and informal (read: leadership decisions) messages from leadership are the fabric from which those relationships are woven. Effective organizations craft those relationships strategically; ineffective organizations allow those relationships to evolve beyond their influence.
