People remain enthusiastic and committed to your business if they have fulfilling work and if they work for someone they want to work for. So the good news for businesses on a tight budget - money isn’t the answer. If you want to retain top talent, inspire and develop your managers. Your managers have the most impact on the quality of your team’s workplace experience. Manager behavior determines employee retention more than all of your policies, recognition programs, and incentives combined.

To transform your organization into a Top Performing Business, your leaders’ behaviors must be in step with the type of business people want to work for. The best reward and recognition program in the world can not offset the negative impact of leadership behavior that is inconsistent with what you want to accomplish.

Extraordinary workplaces create top results! Your leaders (this includes managers, supervisors and executives at every level) must walk the talk if you want to transform your organization into an extraordinary workplace. To retain key employees, work on your leaders first.

Until next time, all the best!
