Everyone has different motivations and ambitions and meeting these personal drivers is central to retention.

Findings from Secrets of Success shows that employees want good working conditions, such as guaranteed working hours, fair wages, flexibility, input into rotas and help with childcare costs, all of which can be incorporated into your terms and conditions and benefits package.

Employers who have a lower staff turnover go beyond the minimum requirements which means it’s worthwhile enhancing the benefits package on offer to retain staff.

Top tips

  • Involve staff in planning shift patterns and rotas to provide flexibility and better meet their needs.
  • Speak to staff regularly to understand what benefits and improvements would help them stay, and use this feedback to shape your offer.
  • Consider providing additional benefits, such as free meals, childcare support, pension contributions, or cycle-to-work schemes, where possible.
