Use Creative Incentives to Retain Talent
By: RW Special Reports

No matter how successful your recruitment program is, your company's hiring efforts are fruitless without solid retention strategies to support them. Every company wants to hold onto its best hires. However, without effective retention strategies in place, you risk creating a revolving door for employees to come and go. With today's hiring climate heating up, the risk of turnover is more urgent than ever. How are organizations tackling the attrition problem? Today's companies are stretching the boundaries of traditional benefits to retain key talent. New, creative incentives are being used to boost retention.

Traditionally, most organizations have focused on compensation as the primary retention lever. However, it really takes a combination of incentives to retain employees: money, benefits, growth opportunities, interaction with upper management, corporate culture, etc. In wake of a more competitive hiring environment, new benefits are also entering the picture. Companies are appealing to employee loyalty by deploying creative benefits such as project bonuses, career development opportunities, optional vacation days, relocation assistance, work-at-home programs, and family leave benefits.
