Retention and engagement

Retention policy: retaining and engaging talent

Good employees who leave cost you knowledge, energy, and time. With a well-thought-out retention policy, we strengthen the engagement of your people so that they stay and grow.

Employees rarely leave for the sake of the salary alone. Here we make the difference.

Through conversations, surveys, or the analysis of exit interviews, we identify where the problems lie.

How do we proceed?

1

Start-up and planning

Based on an intake conversation, we identify the specific needs in terms of retention and engagement. We then create a concrete plan that includes goals, costs, and timing.

2

Project execution and follow-up

During the implementation of the project, it is possible to opt for advice and coaching on the sidelines or for participating in conversations, leading team sessions and/or developing a concrete retention policy.

3

Aftercare

Depending on the implementation of the project, we provide the appropriate follow-up and aftercare. We ensure that the various parties can continue with what they have learned, and we remain available to answer any questions and provide concrete advice.

Frequently asked questions about retention and engagement

What does the departure of an employee cost?

In addition to recruitment costs, you lose knowledge, productivity during onboarding, and team cohesion. The more important the position, the greater the impact.

How do I know that involvement is under pressure?

Often accompanied by increasing short-term absenteeism, less initiative, more complaints about work pressure or the departure of strong people.

Is a retention policy also useful for an SME?

Absolutely. In a small team, each departure weighs more and often a few targeted interventions are enough.

What is employee engagement?

Employee engagement is the degree to which employees feel involved in their work and organisation. Engaged employees are more motivated and stay longer.
