In the mean time here are our top 5 tips for good staff retention:
- Be Flexible. In our ever changing world people's lives are changing- offering the flexibility to accommodate these changes is essential in helping your staff to feel as though they can manage their responsibilities both in and out of work!
- Listen. Your staff should be experts in their field, listening to their opinions and feedback will help them to feel integral to the success of your business. Plus they may provide valuable insights that could be missed from the top.
- Be Competitive. Makes sure you stay abreast of award rates and perks other operators in your industry are offering, you don’t want to lose your superstar employee to a competitor based on a couple of dollars!
- Promote team building. A strong team is built on trust and respect. People who integrate and feel part of a group are less likely to lose motivation or disengage. Encourage a culture of fun team spirit and you will notice an increase in productivity- not the other way around.
- Offer Training. Career pathways and long term projection are great motivational tools. If your staff can see a future for themselves within your company they will be more inclined to stick it out through tough times!

something they suit and will come up eventually that fits with a person's abilities and interests, and have to do within 5 years or find something else. Practically any industry would be included,, as long as there is opportunities that enable job-seekers
to go for 9 months and then new people are allowed the next year to take their place. Linking 2 organisations, calling it 'Link-Up' or 'Jobs-On-par & On-Q for 9mths', govt. with other and a mobile 24hr help number. On-Q with farms, NIDA with On-Q, public farm-work
(House-with-no-Steps) with On-Q, and so on, creative and jobs further afield, might be the greatest winners and those afraid to leave their comfort zone but are unsatisfied with current situation. ie. living with parents.
