You may have heard of 'The Great Resignation' or that a lot of employees are quitting their jobs and transitioning to new ones. Having a high employee turnover rate is not optimal for businesses. That is why I wanted to start a series of tips to keep employee turnover rates at a minimum while boosting company morale.

The first tip I'd like to share is to ask the employee what is important to them. My suggestion is to ask them that question in their initial interview so you can get an idea of what motivates them personally. You can ask them what they were not getting at their previous job that enticed them to look elsewhere.

The fact is that you'll never know what your employee is looking for if you don't ask.

• 'What are you not getting that will help you do your job better?'


• 'What are you not getting that will help you achieve that work/life balance?'


• 'What do you need that we can provide that will help you feel more satisfied?'

Odds are that your employee will wholeheartedly appreciate the fact that you cared enough to ask.
