I have not seen a lot of attempts at employee retention over the years. Do employers still value retaining employees?
For example, having a tuition reimbursement policy is good, but telling employees that using it is against the company interests sort of negates the value other than having it as a check box. However, let me preface this discussion with a positive example of employee retention. My wife works for a smallish company (more than 50 employees tho). She's been there 10 years. Left for a year, and they welcomed her back. She's done all the jobs, knows the business, they've been keeping her interested. Even after all of that, they just gave a >10% raise AND a bonus. And, they (still) let her work from home twice a week. (That was one of the things they did for her to get her back after she left). She was not looking at leaving, btw. There's no such thing as a perfect employer, of course, but that's a nice way to approach retention of a valuable employee. Anyway, I have a feeling my placid, every-day, hum-drum routine is about to get a little less predictable. Thanks all for being a sounding board.
