Employee Retention Strategies is uniquely designed to provide small- to medium-sized organizations (and business units of large organizations) with affordable, effective, fast and lasting solutions to improve employee retention,
satisfaction and commitment.

The Working Workshop™

A Different Approach for Faster Results With No (or Low) Implementation Costs

     Typical workshops consist of a lecturer doing most of the talking, referring to PowerPoint® slides. Quite differently, the Working Workshop™ format is a roll-up-your-sleeves, let’s-put-these-principles-to-work interactive event.

Each participant leaves with specific ideas, tailored to his or her unique workplace environment, that can be implemented the next day – and almost always with no cost.

In only one day, your organization will benefit from the new understanding of:

• Why pay is limited as a retention factor

• What today’s workers truly seek

• Why no-cost strategies are the true “glue” that retain top talent

• How to tap into the heart of high morale and productivity

• How incentives and rewards fail as long-term motivators or as effective retention tools

What also sets apart workshops provided by Employee Retention Strategies are:

• A focus only on research-proven methods for improving employee retention

• The opportunity to create specific ideas to implement in your organization, department or work group that are tailored to your key objectives

• Avoidance of gimmicks, rewards and other quick fixes that can demoralize top employees and reduce management credibility

• Building an understanding of systemic issues that are contributing to turnover and how to create effective, lasting and positive change

• A focus on current organizational strengths that can be quickly enriched to result in greater employee commitment and engagement

Workshop Benefits

Deeper

     Retention isn’t skin-deep. Improving employee retention and morale involves a significant culture change. Workshop participants learn to look beneath the surface and to understand the impact of belief systems that affect retention success. They then learn how to effectively create change at the systems level.

Smarter

     Develop a higher retention I.Q. Despite the shortage of healthcare workers, only half of US hospitals have retention programs – and only 10% of those are effective* All Employee Retention Strategies’ workshop content is based on solid research and applied theory. Workshop participants leave equipped to distinguish effective approaches and effective ways of implementation. They will also learn the importance of building on already-present strengths to produce faster results.
     Every participant receives a workshop manual containing exercises they can use with work groups at their facility and a bibliography to continue their learning journey.

Faster

     Participants can use tomorrow what they learn this day. No budget? No problem! The “glue” that holds employees can’t be bought. The workshop provides a new toolkit for a deeper understanding of the most successful retention ideas. Participants also learn to customize the best practices from retention superstars to their facility’s culture and their organization’s strategic objectives.

Customized

     One strategy does not fit all. Each attendee leaves with multiple ideas they can implement the next day in their facility – strategies that fit the unique nature of their employees and their environment. Workshop content also can be designed to meet participants’ needs and to address issues specific to your region, your facilities.

Lasting

     Enduring change, not program-of-the-month. Our participants leave this workshop knowing the difference! Leaders who have taken this workshop now have the foundation to travel the waves of change, to understand systems, to use small changes to create major shifts and to deploy only research-supported methods to create sustained change and measurable results.


Enlightening

     Seeing retention in an entirely new light. Participants leave with a new awareness of all that is possible for their facility and their people. They’ll learn to move from merely solving problems to discovering unknown strengths and capabilities. These well-prepared change agents can create a new retention-rich culture in which people grow and learn and discover greater joy at work together.
