As they say, most employees leave their manager, not the company.

And this is indeed the case. And it is not even the salary or bonuses that retain the employee – the decisive factor is the relationship, as in everything else, in principle.

This can be considered the answer to the question of how to retain staff – to improve relationships within the team, in particular between the boss and the immediate subordinate.

In any company there is also a problem of how to find personnel. There are several ways to select specialists.

It is best to search in the media, at job fairs, on social networks. If you need a top manager, it is better to contact a recruiting agency - they are masters of their craft, even if the applicant company has its own recruiting department.

It is believed that top management of companies should spend about 50% of their time on training their people, on motivating them, since knowledge of how to motivate staff is also one of the most important in the personnel issue.

It is necessary to provide employees with sufficient time off (even additional vacations in addition), flexible work schedules (if possible), insurance, food, training, career advancement, additional financial bonuses or even equity participation and profit sharing if necessary.

Having practical skills (or at least taking courses, trainings, seminars - this is already better than theoretical knowledge within the university framework), getting acquainted with the programs by which personnel records are kept at modern enterprises, being an uncompromising and strict professional who sees through every employee and job applicant - that is the answer.

A personnel manager is a person with strategic thinking. By the way, such managers are also called HR managers.

How to manage staff

Of course, a leader must lead a team. True leadership is about positioning yourself as a team member.

The boss must also be able to delegate authority, express constructive criticism and praise, motivate, and be a role model.

In conclusion, it can be said that it is possible to retain each individual employee only by applying a set of all the above recommendations, as well as by taking an individual approach to each employee as a unique individual.

Salary is a reward for work or participation in work.
