How to Retain Top Talent
If you have managed to get hold of some great talent for your business, the most important thing you can do is keep hold of those people.
Employee retention is something that isn’t always an easy thing to get right, especially in countries like the UAE where there is a young and ambitious population looking to advance their careers quickly.
We recently hosted a webinar on this topic with Wayne Clarke from The Global Growth Institute, and some interesting points were discussed on how important the role of the manager is in keeping top talent onboard.
For people to stay bought into the company they work for they need to be in an environment where they feel understood, challenged, and integral to their organisation's mission, all this hinges on communication, and that communication is mostly done through line managers.
I always say you can’t not over communicate and that was backed up by a whole bunch of stats on our webinar.
If you want to find out more, you can watch a recording of that webinar HERE.
