What impacts employee retention?

A few key factors influence employee retention and turnover:

  • Do employees feel valued, cared for, and supported by the company?
  • Does the company offer competitive benefits and compensation so that employees can care for their needs?
  • Is the work meaningful and value-driven? Do employees feel connected and invested in their daily tasks and projects?
  • Do employees have opportunities to grow, gain new skills, and take on new responsibilities?
  • Is the work culture wholesome and supportive instead of toxic?

Companies that focus on these aspects will see their retention numbers rise, while those who only do the bare minimum will struggle with turnover.
