Dear Seniors, I am working in a small firm (15 employees) but here the retention rate is very low. every now and then people left this organization. (in last 2 months 6 employees) I recently join this organization and I really wonder the rate of people leaving the organization and want to reduce this as much as I can. but with my small duration here I felt that the management is very conservative. I had a communication with employee's and found their few problems such as
1) there is no Flexi duty hrs. if they have an emergency or any personal problem management stuck to their 10-6 timings which makes them feel fed up. They are ready to complete their duty hrs in such situations but require some flexibility of in/out time in such urgent situations.
2) they don't get tea refreshment facility from management and they have to spend on tea in duty hrs.
3) They require training by a trainer but management provides training through website videos.
4) they don't get Diwali mithai too.
5) they get leave paid at the end of the year.
6) apart from privilege leave of 21 days (which they get once at the end of the year) they only get 4 choice holidays and 4 compulsory holidays (like 1st may, 26 jan, 15 aust, 2nd oct) which they feel not enough.
This was a general friendly talk but as I am new here I don't know many more facts / real facts which would be still behind the bar.
How can I find out the reason for unhappiness and the low retention rate in my organization? how my employee's will be open up and tell the real fact behind this? what should I do to fee them our place to be the best place to work. How can I encourage them to feel to contribute in firms growth.
AND MORE than that how to convince the management about the changes required?
Regards,
Sawant
