It's not (only) about the money.
The most common reasons for frontline team members to quit their jobs isn't about salary.
-
Values mismatch.
Especially young professionals prioritize work culture even over their salary. If they don’t get along with their colleagues or feel that the values of the organization aren't in line with their personal values, they are very likely to move on.
-
Lack of motivation.
Taking pride in your work massively improves motivation. People that don’t feel proud of their contribution and perceive that their work isn’t important and meaningful often feel disconnected and discouraged.
-
Not being involved.
Nothing kills motivation like feeling your voice isn’t valued. Disengaged team members very often underperform at their tasks.
Training to motivate.
Improve skills at the moment of need and encourage team members to share best practices with each other.
Build a culture of continuous learning.
Implement accessible on-the-job training tools with standard operating procedures and work instructions that everyone can use.
Involve to continuously improve.
Crowdsource the knowledge from a diverse group of participants with subject-matter expertise that evolves and improves over time.
Encourage knowledge sharing.
Encourage team members to share best practices with each other. Collaboration fosters a sense of belonging and improves motivation.
