Discover the hiring and management strategies that keep good employees around longer and improve team culture.
Keeping Good Employees Means Better Business
High staff turnover costs you hours in recruiting, training, and knowledge loss. Here's how to hire thoughtfully and retain with intention:
1. Conduct Realistic Job Previews
Let candidates shadow the role for a short time. They’ll get a better feel—and you’ll reduce mismatches before hiring.
2. Provide a Clear Training Plan
New hires should know the first 30 days' objectives. From day one, they’ll feel supported and see purpose in their role.
3. Meet Regularly—Not Just on Appraisal Day
Short weekly check-ins help you catch issues early and coach consistently, not just during formal reviews.
4. Recognise Performance with Small Rewards
Free lunch, early dismissal, or thank-you note—these simple gestures show you notice and care.
5. Track Employee Metrics
Use your POS to measure performance—hours worked, tasks completed, upsell rates. Address trends early and reward results.
Final thoughts
Employees stay when they feel valued, understood, and challenged. These steps support better decisions and better retention—backed up with powerful tools.
