Employee retention can be improved in many ways. Employee relationship management is one of them.
Employees who feel like they don’t know what is going on in the company feel frustrated and isolated. As a result, they feel insecure and often consider new job opportunities.
Employee advocacy is a benefit many companies are trying to achieve. The ability to reach employees’ connections and use your company’s social capital to its full potential can have a big impact on the company’s visibility, brand awareness and productivity.
In order to achieve employee advocacy, employers have to be ready to improve employee relations. They need to keep employees in the loop and share important content.
Employee experience
Similar to employee satisfaction, good employee experience is one of the biggest proofs of healthy workplace culture.
To deliver a good employee experience, employers need to be ready to improve the way they communicate with employees. Open and transparent communication helps employees feel involved, which often leads to higher employee engagement.
In contrast, poor employee communications lead to insecurity, lack of engagement, and honesty in the workplace.
Employee empowerment
Millennials and younger generations want to be involved in many aspects of a business. They want to have a certain level of decision-making power.
This is called employee empowerment. It involves giving employees responsibility and autonomy to manage their own work and make decisions to achieve their own goals.
In order to empower your employees, you need to have good employee relations and communications strategies.
For employees to feel empowered, they need to understand clearly what your company’s mission and vision are. Also, they have to be able to understand how their work contributes to the overall business success.
