WHAT EMPLOYEES SAY THEY WANT
Employees say one thing and do another, a recent UK-based report claims.(0)___H___ Addressing these problems is especially important when there are skills shortages, and companies are trying hard to retain the workers they have. According to the report, there is a consistent discrepancy between what really attracts staff and keeps them, and what they say are priorities.
The report found that, although there are differences in preferences, depending on age, home country and gender, all age groups say they rate the work/life balance as an extremely important consideration for staying with their particular company.(9)______This is followed by job security and financial rewards.
However, despite their proclamations about wanting a work/life balance, it was established that this does not have a positive effect on retention for any subgroup. Similarly, people profess to identify more closely with a company which has a clear strategy for success, but in fact that does not result in improved retention either.(10)______
Another finding was that it is the high-flyers in a company who are most likely to be ungrateful and leave. This is despite the fact that they are more likely to attract fast-track promotion, career development, training and financial rewards, which should be the glue to keep them loyal.(11)______
All this makes life difficult for managers. (12)______This is because they have to spend as much time creating an employment brand that attracts the best talent as they do in creating a consumer brand that builds customer loyalty.
That is all the more important for major companies, who, increasingly these days, are no longer viewed as the employer of choice by top graduates.(13)______This involves both corporate attitudes and individual encouragement. At corporate level, there is a need for a clear and convincing strategy for the business, and an innovative environment low in bureaucracy. One level down from that, there should be tasks that interest and challenge employees, and sharpen their skills. At individual level, profit-related bonuses go down well.(14)______
Above all, companies should remember that since the requirements are different for the young, middle-aged and elderly, as well as for men and women, the package has to be enticing to the right target age and gender.
A Top executives find that they can no longer delegate personnel matters.
B That is possibly because they are most likely to find other jobs.
C What the report did conclude though, was that money, especially performance-related pay, does increase commitment, as do share options and profit-sharing.
D In addition, companies need to motivate key people with appropriate recognition and by giving them what they actually want, rather than just relying on an attractive basic salary, which can easily be matched by any other employer.
E Moreover, when it comes to choosing a job, women rate it even more highly than men.
F As a result, the report concludes that focusing on the top performers can be counterproductive because it can cause underdevelopment, underutilisation and demotivation of the rest of the workforce.
G The report reckons that in order to change this situation, a two-stage policy is required.
H This will come as no surprise to anyone involved with market research, but it is causing problems for employers trying to recruit staff.
