Retaining High Performers

While we all understand the importance of retaining high-performing team members, even the best leaders can lose sight of this key to organizational success amid all the other pressing day-to-day priorities. With the current talent market being the most competitive I’ve seen in my 18 years in healthcare executive search, robust employee retention & engagement efforts are needed now more than ever. While retention bonuses are a common last-ditch tactic, they’re often a reflection of a broken/absent employee engagement process.

If you’re looking for a solid framework to enhance your team’s level of commitment, I’d recommend checking out Gallup’s Retaining Top Talent in 2021. Additionally, Harvard Business Review recently published a great piece on The Little Things That Make Employees Feel Appreciated.

I'd welcome your thoughts and perspective and, as always, thank you for reading.
