Want your employees to stay with you forever? Try these five steps!

From flexible leave packages to live Friday DJ nights at the attic room, companies are going the extra way to retain their employees. What does a company focus on mainly to create happy employees? We give you a list of factors a company should focus on to retain their employees.

1. Engagement- Every company should ask themselves one question before formulating any more innovative HR policies for the benefits of their employees- How engaged the employee is with his current role as well as the company? For, the more engaged he is the earlier you can get him to contribute in enriching the company. Engagement has to be with work and the team. Making work creative does not suffice for the displeasure an employee suffers from by being disconnected with the managerial team. It matters to an employee how up high the hierarchy he is able to penetrate.

2. Exposure- Employees who are growing, promoted and are successful tend to stay longer. For this every employee needs to be given the opportunity to come forward with new ideas and even be able to state the he is not happy with a particular work.

3. Work hours- Working hours matter from person to person. For some long working hours suit the most while it is just the opposite for others. The best way is to focus on the output and accordingly set the most productive hours one has in the office.

4. Company brand- No employee would stay at a place where no effort is taken to improve on the talent brand of the company.

5. Leave packages- Flexible and generous leave packages do entice employees to stay at a place longer and also refer the company’s name to future employees.
