Employee Retention
Competitive Compensation & Benefits

Employee retention starts with competitive compensation and benefits. You have to be reasonably close to your competitors. You don't have to offer the top salaries and benefits in your market. In fact, if you are the leader you may be wasting money.

If you find that your salary and benefits aren't competitive, fix them immediately. The consequences are very expensive - - far greater than the cost of upgrading.

Non-competitive compensation and benefits will limit you to attracting and hiring 'bottom feeders'. These people will accept your job offer because it's their only one. Bottom feeders generally have low talent, skills, attitudes, and consequently low performance. They work to survive, rather than achieve. While they may not always arrive at work on time, they ALWAYS leave on time.

The customer dissatisfaction that bottom feeders help create will also cost you. Hiring 'cheap' employees becomes very expensive when your customers experience:

- Product quality inconsistencies
- Service quality inconsistencies
- Higher prices due to inefficiencies

The resulting customer dissatisfaction and lack of loyalty leads to the ultimate turnover cost . . . customer turnover. This leads to lower profits which logically leads to lowering your organization's compensation and benefits package to make up for the loss in profits. This completes another loop in a downward spiral.

Competitive compensation and benefits play a critical part in enabling you to attract and hire the level of employees that you want to retain.
