Continued from page 2 "As IT leaders get frustrated managing issues of recruiting and retention, they're often throwing clay against the wall to see what sticks. But they're not appealing to their workplace culture. It's more like bribing employees to stay around," said Bright. "Upping perks in name alone or perks that don't fit with the culture may stop the bleeding, but over time there's a real disconnect." Instead, companies should identify the perks that most appeal to the employees who stay as well as study the real reasons departing employees are moving on to other jobs. By identifying the positive and negative aspects of its work environment, a company stands to improve its marketability to new hires while increasing its likelihood of retaining current employees who might be swayed by a better offer. |
