For this, most recent, installment in our series of insights in to the Australian employment market we wanted to give our perception of why employees remain loyal to their current employer.
\n\u00a0
\nThere is a lot of research on employees staying loyal and plenty of articles (particularly from the US and Europe) which address this more scientifically.\u00a0 However, these ideas come entirely from the Talent Web team and relate to our experience in the Australian market which \u2013 for a number of our consultants \u2013 stretches back nearly 20 years.
\n\u00a0
\nSo \u2013 without further ado \u2013 this is what you need to know to help engender loyalty from your current team (or those that you want to keep at least!!)<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Make an effort to ask about them as people.\u00a0 Ask about more than what they are doing to help you achieve your goals.\u00a0 Be friendly even if you don\u2019t really care all that much.<\/p>\n

2. They will stay loyal because you are genuine and you don\u2019t resort to quoting your MBA degree at every opportunity.<\/p>\n

3. They will stay because you don\u2019t take credit for their work (in fact if you give them credit for your work, all the better!)<\/p>\n

4. They don\u2019t care about the ping pong table in the corner \u2013 they want to feel that they have developed skills this week that they didn\u2019t have last week.<\/p>\n

5. Knock gossip on the head and get people to talk about issues immediately.\u00a0 Festering antagonism starts to draw other people in to it\u2019s web and cause more damage than you know.<\/p>\n

6. Encourage cross-functional teams that don\u2019t usually work together to collaborate.\u00a0 Silos are damaging from both a cultural and an economic perspective but importantly working together creates understanding and harmony.<\/p>\n

7. Stick up for them \u2013 sometimes even when they are wrong.\u00a0 People need to know you back them through thick and thin.\u00a0 When they are wrong, be honest and talk it through with them over a glass of wine\u2026.out of earshot of anyone else.<\/p>\n

8. Do some fun things.\u00a0 Make people smile and don\u2019t take yourself too seriously.<\/p>\n

9. Stop worrying about what other companies are doing and trying to mimic what you perceive other places to be doing.\u00a0 Be genuine about who you are and what you (as a business) stand for and the right people will stick around.
\n\u200b
\n10. Don\u2019t be beholden to unpleasant, disruptive influencers who are affecting their team mates.\u00a0 Regardless of how good they are they are not making the people around them want to stay loyal to the business.<\/p>\n
