More About Barbara
Employee Retention and Motivation
“Handle with CARE –
Motivating and Retaining
Employees”
Did
you know?
- 46% of employees leaving a company do so because they feel
unappreciated.
- 61% said their bosses don’t place much importance on them as
people.
- 88% said they do not receive acknowledgment for the work they do.
In their
fourth annual United States @ Work study 2000, Aon Consulting found that, “Management’s
ability to create a ‘sense
of pride and spirit’ in an organization is the most effective way
to recruit, retain, and motivate a high-performance work force.” As
a result of the research studies quoted above, her own research with
over 1200 frontline and hourly workers across industries, and her extensive
experience working with organizations worldwide to increase morale and
retention, Barbara has developed a presentation that helps supervisors
and managers to understand that people do not leave organizations; they
quit bosses!
Gallup interviewed two million workers at 700 companies
and this was their conclusion: “The length of an employee’s
stay in an organization is largely determined by his relationship with
his immediate supervisor.” Considering
that the average cost of replacing an employee is $50,000 today, it is
vitally important for supervisors and managers to understand what their
employees really want,, and the good news is that it is not all about
money. This presentation will directly impact your bottom line as well
as to help
create workplaces where people feel valued, respected, and appreciated
for the work they do.
As either pre-work or follow-up to this program,
we suggest having managers and supervisors and their direct reports take
the Glanz Employee Motivation
(GEM™) survey online to determine how well they are modeling the
specific behaviors that our research identified from employees in different
industries all across the country as the management behaviors that create
maximum commitment, productivity, and loyalty. Because it focuses on
specific, repeatable behaviors—behaviors that can be learned or
changed quickly and practiced daily, this survey will help managers and
supervisors make
significant improvements almost immediately and will introduce or reinforce
the ideas in Barbara’s program.
