4 Strategies For Talent-Retention At Start-Ups: Don't Rely On "Gratitude"

Enthusiastic as start-ups may be but the rewards & benefits for employees are sometimes neglected and cause talents to leave after a short time of working. To enhance competitiveness against big businesses, start-ups need to:

• Provide employees with benefits equal to the development of the company, such as ’employee stock ownership plan’ which allows employees to own the company’s stocks; extra health insurance; gym classes; etc.
• Provide proper training for sustainable development: Create suitable training courses for each position, apply “scholarship” based on KPI to encourage learning, empower experienced employees to train new employees
• Provide a professional working environment: effective assessment tools paired with corresponding benefits, let employees’ voices be heard, utilize proprietary business communication platforms.
• Keeping the fire for the team with frequent inspiring speeches about company’s mission, vision or challenges, etc.
