Retention Tips!

Here is a quick idea that costs only about 2 minutes of time: Even though you may have thanked an employee at work for something they did "above and beyond", take the time to call them at home after their shift to thank them again. It's preferable for you to make the call from your home instead of your office. You may be surprised how far this small gesture can go!

When I originally sent this idea out to managers and administrators in our organization, our COO called me at home! I was not there to receive the call, but he left me a wonderful message saying how much he appreciated the retention ideas I sent out and how much he valued my position within the organization. WOW. I was floored!

If you've tried this idea, or are thinking about it, drop a comment on the blog and let us know how it goes!
