Employee Retention Tips:

What motivates a person in life and in work?

Employee Retention and Motivation Assessment Tools

Is employee turnover an issue in your organization?  Do you or other people you know lack energy and enthusiasm in the workplace (or in life) for what you do?  It is difficult to retain an employee if they simply do not like what they are doing.  You can have the 'best' employee retention plans written on paper but if a job and work environment does match what a person values, he or she will not be motivated. 

Out of all of the employee retention tips we can possibly share, the following is the most significant employee retention tip.  It has to do with PASSION!

Did you know that the things we value and enjoy are typically established by the time we are thirteen years old?  Research has found that both environment and genetics contribute to the formation of our personal interests, attitudes and values.  Research also indicates that there are six primary things ('values') that motivate human beings.  Each of us has several 'top' motivators AND it is essential to do the things in life and work that allow us to express these values.  Read more about human values.

WHY do you react to certain people or situations?  Have you ever felt immediately at ease with a stranger you have just met?  Have you met a colleague or boss for the first time and know you don’t like or trust him or her?  Have you ever found yourself totally lost in time while performing a certain activity?  And, are there certain things that you absolutely dread doing?

What causes us to value or judge the people and situations in our lives?  To learn more about the six values, the hidden motivators, and how they can propel you forward, download:
