Holding on to top talent is critical for success in the tech sector. Karla Jo Helms, the host of the Disruption/Interruption podcast, talks to HR expert Dave Delaney about how to approach workforce retention.
TAMPA BAY, Fla., Dec. 6, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Employee turnover is an expensive problem for businesses of any size. The Society for Human Resource Management estimates that the cost to replace a worker who voluntarily quits is equivalent to 1/3 of that employee’s annual earnings.(1) Keeping top talent on board is good for business, good for morale, and good for the bottom line.
Enter disruptor Dave Delaney, a speaker, author, podcast host, and leadership consultant who explains to Karla Jo Helms, the host of the Disruption/Interruption podcast how he helps companies create a culture where people want to stay. He teaches leaders his “Nice Method” to help companies transform how they recruit and retain top-level talent.
Delaney warns that too many business leaders get preoccupied with mission success and forget to check in with the people helping them achieve their success. He and Karla Jo discuss how being nice can transform the workplace.
Key takeaways:
- The golden rule still matters: treat others the way you want to be treated.
- Successfull leadership requires three skills: (1) Lead with acceptance and empathy. (2) Actively listen. (3) Don’t fear failure.
- Free speech is important, but not unlimited. Being rude or inappropriate at work will have ramifications for you.
- Retaining talented employees is more cost-effective than managing turnover.
- Show your workers you appreciate them: Giving employees consistent recognition, starting with the onboarding process and continuing throughout their tenure, creates a positive workplace culture.
- Conducting “stay interviews” is a key tool for staying connected with employees. It helps leaders learn how employees feel and what would make them happier at work.
- In-person interaction helps build a stronger work culture. Even teams that work remotely should seek out opportunities for in-person events.
- Dave’s other passion is comedy and entertaining people. He is an experienced improv performer and has recently turned his talents to stand-up comedy.
