On the flipside, companies who report high engagement in their workers have 1\/3 lower turnover rates.<\/p>\n<p>A little over half of employees are currently searching for alternate job opportunities. And a little under half of small business owners report that losing their employees to another company is a major concern.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Let\u2019s round it out with the \u2018why\u2019 of it all. <\/strong>So why is this a problem? If one employee leaves, there\u2019s always at least 20-30 resumes kept in a file somewhere of candidates who would jump at the chance for a job. True. You could replace. There are always job seekers. But that\u2019s putting a rather expensive band-aid on the issue rather than truly healing the sore.

Keep employees motivated and remind them of their value with employee engagement programs. Show employees what goals they need to accomplish in order to grow in the company. Make employee birthdays, anniversaries and flex time a priority to create a community and prevent burn-out.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By polling several hundred HR departments
