Workforce
Retention is a Challenge for All Types
of Organizations
Retaining
a quality workforce continues to be a growing challenge among
organizations today. Organizations of all types - private,
non-profit, and public agencies all struggle with the same
issue---how to retain key team members in order to accomplish
its objectives. While sales and profits may be the number
one objective for organizations, retention is becoming their
number one priority.

Workforce Retention is a Complex Equation
Wage and
salary issues are only one part of a larger picture of workforce
retention. Other factors such as recognition, opportunities
for learning and development, organization culture, management
style and supervisory relationship play an important part
in retaining quality team members.

Supervision: First Level and Second Level
Today,
most companies target their first level of supervision as
the key component to workforce retention. Interestingly, while
the first level supervisor is a key component in helping a
team move forward, the role of the second level supervisor
is also important. When the skills of the first level supervisor
appear to be lacking, in most cases team members will temporarily
accept the condition as long as their second level supervisor
can serve as a sounding board to offer counsel and encouragement.
In the absence of a positive role model of a second level
supervisor, retention becomes problematic.

Retention
Is a Process
Instead
of considering workforce retention as an event, Your
New Image considers workforce retention as
a process that includes assessment, intervention, and post
assessment conducted in the context of continuous improvement.
This process helps establish base line data, outlines intervention
to include targeted training and development, and reviews
changes that may have occurred between pre and post assessment.
