To counter additional attrition, companies have turned their attention inward and are focusing on employee retention. While some employees continue to look for more pay and flexible hours, many desire to work for a company that shows their employees that they are valuable and needed. Organizations can demonstrate employees\u2019 value and contribution at the company level by ensuring they have an inclusive culture, and at the individual level through talent development and advancement opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"walk-the-talk\">Walk the Talk<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCOVID clarity\u201d is real and showing up as employees seek purpose and balance in their lives. Many organizations include a strong culture statement on their website, but to attract and retain the best and the brightest, employees need to see those values in action every day. They seek companies where everyone\u2014including the top leaders\u2014are actively demonstrating company values and there\u2019s a spotlight on measuring social and cultural impact. If key employees are falling short, employers should invest in assessment and coaching to help them understand where the weaknesses are and develop a plan to shift accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"clear-out-the-toxins\">Clear out the Toxins<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A team&#8217;s effectiveness is often driven by how inclusive the environment is. A commonly cited reason employees leave their jobs is a toxic environment, including bullying and microaggression. Systemic, derailing behaviors within an organization hinder the ability to retain employees and are costly. To create a more inclusive environment, begin by conducting a culture audit to uncover issues and commit to developing effective strategies to combat toxic behaviors and reduce turnover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"build-your-bench\">Build Your Bench<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>During the pandemic, many companies paused succession planning. Now, as we refocus on future growth, organizations are restarting this process. You should look to build your bench strength by developing internal talent and hiring future leaders of the organization. To achieve this, start by determining potential organization talent gaps spanning the CEO to the emerging leader level and developing existing team members. Seek out and hire strong candidates with leadership potential and an ability to drive the desired culture.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"block-testimonial-client has-dark-blue-background-color alignfull alignfull\">\n\t<div class=\"maybe-wrapper\">\n\t\t<div class=\"left\">\n\t\t\t<h2>Steps to Take<\/h2>\t\t\t<p class=\"by\">The Great Resignation has led to talent wars and a competitive salary market.
