Employers are in real trouble if 83% of their employees are looking for a different job like the 2014 study by salary.com shows. Even if an employer finds what they believe to be the most qualified applicant, other studies show their stay will be limited replacement cost could be as much as 50% of their yearly salary.
Is there a better way to find good, committed and engaged employees and not have to fire the slackers? The National Health Organization and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration (SAMHSA) have proven that there is, and much of the solution is virtually free to implement.
The main reason people look for a better job is not income, it is finding a place where they are appreciated, supported and feel a sense of purpose and value. In many studies stress, usually related to conflicts with management, costs American businesses $300 billion a year in productivity, absenteeism, medical and other related costs. It is this climate that determines whether a business has created a “Mental Health Friendly Environment that Thrives and Profits.”
Anderson and Associates has teamed up with Counselor Linda Larson Schlitz and the Faucet of HOPE Business Collaborative to offer this SAMHSA developed training that will provide employers with a cost effective 4 step process to minimize turnover and increase profits by understanding and responding to what their employees are looking for.
Linda will be offering a free online employee survey to attendees, followed by a detailed report and strategy session to help employers respond to employee concerns. The training is May 3rd from 8am-12pm and participants can attend online or in person at Anderson & Associates in Merrill, WI. The training is valued at $1500 but you can register before May 2nd for only $99.
