3 Signs to Spot When it Comes to Turnover

No matter how great a company is, or how fun the company culture is, turnover is inevitable. People leave companies for different reasons, and it is your job to spot unhappy employees before they decide to relocate, especially your top talent. Employee turnover is a major concern and for a good reason. It can be frustrating, time-consuming, and not to mention, expensive. When you hire a new employee, you have to onboard them, buy the necessary equipment, train them, and so on. This is why supervisors and managers have to be aware of the signs that show an employee is about to quit. If you are not paying attention to those signs, a situation like that can catch you at a bad time and leave you in a tight spot. Knowing the warning signs will help you spot those unhappy employees and do what is necessary to make them happy and stop them from quitting.

Companies are attending career fairs, posting their job openings on LinkedIn, or even using social media to attract talent. So what do you do once you have attracted and hired talent? Reducing turnover should be a goal for every company, and one of the best ways of doing this is by making the first days for new hires as smooth and welcoming as possible. This is called Onboarding.

According to business.com, research shows that a good onboarding program can boost retention by 50% and productivity by 54%. As simple as onboarding may sound, there are many aspects that are involved in the process, and planning is necessary to have a successful onboarding program. If you already have an onboarding program in your company but are looking to making it better, then you’ve come to the right place. The following are some tips you can utilize to build your onboarding program.

How Employee Self Service Will Make Your Life Easier

If you are in the HR industry, you are well aware that working with people can be difficult at times. As an HR professional you are always dealing with employees, answering their questions, reminding them to complete their tasks, reminding them to shop for their benefits during open enrollment, approving their time off requests, helping them understand their pay stub, etc, etc. This can become very daunting and time-consuming. Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a way where you could make one reminder and send it to ALL of your employees? Or a way you could communicate with them without having to deal with them in person? Or how about approving time with the click of a button? Luckily, there is. If you are not currently using an Employee Self Service application or haven’t even heard of this, then you’ve come to the right place. So what is Employee Self Service? Employee Self Service, or ESS, is a web-based application where employees can access and manage everything pertinent to their job. With ESS, employees have the ability to log into their portal and fill out all their information such as address, social security number, emergency contacts, phone number, dependents, and the like. They can also access all of their information ranging from pay stubs, to time off balances, to W-2s, and more. This can be done from anywhere, as long as the employee has a computer, tablet, or smartphone and has internet access. Need more convincing? Here are some ways ESS can make your life easier.

5 Tips to Attract and Retain the Best Talent

Recruiting nowadays has become rather difficult. Applicants are very picky when applying to companies as they want the process to be as smooth and easy as possible. Usually, if the application process involves writing a cover letter, creating a profile, or anything other than just filling out a simple application form and submitting a resume, they skip it and move on to the next. These are probably the people you would not want to have working in your company. When a good applicant is searching for a new job and is fully committed to landing one, they will do whatever it takes to stand out from the rest of the applicants and get a job offer. These are the people you want to hire and keep in your company. However, that doesn’t mean your applicants should be jumping through hoops in order to apply. Even the most dedicated candidates can easily get turned off by a poorly designed application process. The following are just a few tips you can follow in order to attract and retain the best talent.
