A well-matched employee is going to be more loyal, and
therefore will take less effort to retain.
If you take your time and invest your efforts in hiring the right person
the first time, it will also help in cutting costs of having to keep hiring
people when one doesn’t work out. The perfect fit in a new hire should balance
out your staff, and blend right in.
Practicing fairness is very important across all levels of employees within a company. Any person will react when they feel like they are a victim of unfairness. It is important to have a feel for how employees are reacting to they way they are treated.
Recognition is also an important key to keeping a stellar employee. Incentives for a job well done are always a great idea to motivate staff to be more productive. Although sometimes just telling an associate that they have done a great job on something as simple as making a customer smile goes a long way. People like to feel noticed in a positive aspect.
