A decent salary is not all that matters when deciding to take up a job. There are numerous additional factors that each job candidate verifies and takes into consideration before signing a contract of employment. In this article, we will list and describe things that you should provide your employees with to attract new staff and boost your current employee’s engagement. Check them out!
Fair salary
The salary is usually the strongest motivator for employees. People who are poorly paid are more likely to change companies they are employed at and look for places of work they will be fairly compensated. This may lead to several organizational issues, e.g., when part of your staff decides to quit at the same time, you may struggle with the lack of employees in the workplace. This is why salary should always go hand in hand with the array of responsibilities your employees have. You may also consider the introduction of special rewards and bonuses for good performance.
Communication
There is nothing worse than poor communication in the workplace. This regards communication among employees as well as communication between employees and their supervisors. When employees don’t know what they are precisely expected to do or they are unable to work together to find a common ground, the company can’t properly develop.
Job security
Another essential thing that you should provide your employees with is job security. Employees who do their job well should always feel secure about their future in the workplace. There is nothing worse than having an engaged employee who is constantly worrying about getting dismissed. If your company goes through a hard time, always communicate it openly with your employees so that they know what they can expect from you.
Opportunity to grow
Most employees, especially the younger ones, look for jobs in which they can gradually advance their careers. This is why companies that invest in employee development are so popular among job seekers these days. Language and computer courses, transparent promotion process, possibility to participate in conferences and seminars… They are simply a must!
Work-life balance
If your employees are tense, get nervous at work easily and present signs of constant fatigue, there is a possibility that they lost their work-life balance. What you can do to fight it? Firstly, encourage them to regularly take breaks from work. Secondly, don’t let them spend time in the office after hours if it is not necessary. Thirdly, allow them to work from home or offer flexible working hours. All of these can change their attitude towards working.
Well-thought-out incentives
The array of possible benefits and incentives that can be introduced in your company is huge. Remember to always aim for quality over quantity. Prepare a benefits scheme that addresses the needs of your employees. For starters, you may consider introducing gym cards and providing health care and corporate life insurance. If your staff complains about some parking issues, providing them with a parking space reservation system can be a great asset that will make your company stand out from the crowd.
