Smith, former president of Burger King said, \u201cThe individual choice of garnishment of a burger can be an important point to the consumer in this day when individualism is an increasingly important thing to people.\u201d\u00a0 Burger King recognized long ago that Americans expect to have multiple choices each day.\u00a0 Workers are not an exception to this rule.\u00a0 Today\u2019s employees are looking for choice in the methods they use for completing a job, in the benefits they receive from work, and in when and how they report to work.<\/p>\n<p>Choices in the tools they use, the methods they employ, and the recognition they receive are all characterized as innovations in employee choice. Do your employees have choices every day?\u00a0 If not, they might soon be exercising their choice to leave.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Culture of Balance<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Even with increased acceptance of flextime and work\/life balance initiatives, public employers indicate that stress levels still remain high in their workplaces.\u00a0 Those agencies with lower levels of turnover recognize the increasingly important issue of balance and are addressing this need with proactive programs to help workers find satisfaction at home and on the job. Progressive public sector organizations will recognize recognizing the impact a balance-focused work culture can have on the retention of top performers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Culture of Development\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Bestselling authors Beverly Kaye and Sharon Jordan-Evans, in their book, <em>Love\u2019Em or Lose\u2019Em<\/em>, say that any organization that ignores the ambitions of good people can\u2019t expect to keep them.\u00a0\u00a0 High rates of retention are clearly linked to the amount of attention the employee gets in terms of their professional development and growth.\u00a0 When employees feel that their career goals have been acknowledged and that they are continuing to be challenged on the job, they are likely to stick around.\u00a0 Employees who feel stagnated, ignored, or bored will likely start to look for other opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>A culture of development can be cultivated through a variety of tools.\u00a0 Training, mentoring, and clear career paths all contribute to this culture.\u00a0 However, the strongest culture of development is created by the first line supervisor who works with the employee each day.\u00a0 Every supervisor and manager has an opportunity to show that they are interested in the employee\u2019s growth and development by asking the right questions and by understanding where the employee wants to go professionally.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A Culture of Care\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>R. Brayton Bowen said, \u201cIn a strict sense, the kind of motivation we need to be talking about in today\u2019s environment is <em>inspired<\/em> rather than <em>induced<\/em>.\u201d As Bowen indicates employees will be motivated to stay put and work at higher levels if they feel that they are cared for and if they care about the work they are doing. In other words, employees must feel a sense of inspiration to fully commit to their daily activities.<\/p>\n<p>In organizations where retention levels are high and turnover is low, research has found that employees find some level of inspiration from their jobs.\u00a0 Such inspiration might be a sense of contributing to the greater good.\u00a0 It might be a commitment to the team and its goals.\u00a0 Inspiration may be derived by following a committed and ethical leader.\u00a0 However the inspiration is created, employees must be lead to care about their work and about the organization.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We have all read the reports that indicate the workforce will shrink in numbers over the coming years with the anticipated exit of the baby boomers. It is clear that public organizations will continue to be challenged to attract and retain qualified and committed employees. \u00a0It is now time to turn our attention internally, to the four cultures of employee retention. Retention, while often considered a factor of economic times, is now being considered a long-term strategic goal for organizations that recognize its value.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The reality of today\u2019s job market is that workers are expecting more from their employers and are not afraid to move on if their needs are not met by your organization.
