The Importance of Employee Retention
Reduced Costs and Disruptions
High rates of employee turnover are costly. In addition to the interruptions brought on by a steady stream of new hiring, the expense of replacing an employee can range from 16% to 213% of their pay. Retaining employees guarantees a more efficient workflow and cost savings.
Building a Cohesive and Productive Workforce
Experienced employees are a big asset. They know the ins and outs of our agency, like the back of their hand. This means they can jump right in and get things done quickly and well. Plus, when everyone works together smoothly, it makes for a happier and more helpful work environment for everyone.
A Pipeline of Future Leaders
When you nurture and develop your talent, you create a natural pipeline for future leadership positions. Retained employees gain valuable experience and polish their skills, making them strong candidates for promotions. This not only helps with internal succession planning but also keeps valuable knowledge and leadership skills within the agency.
Enhanced Public Service Delivery
A happy and engaged workforce translates into better service delivery for the public. Retained employees are more invested in their work and take pride in delivering quality service. This not only builds public trust but also strengthens the overall reputation of your agency.
