Build It so They Will Stay —
Employee Retention Presentation

   
 
 
 

Employee retention is a major issue today since it impacts a company’s earnings in so many ways. From lost productivity and intellectual capital to the additional time and effort of hiring, employee turnover is expensive. Retaining employees is an important topic in leadership development.

When compensation packages are competitive with the marketplace, it is the intrinsic rewards that keep employees productive and committed. Retaining and motivating valuable employees is achievable in any company that builds awareness, team spirit, trust, and accountability. These concepts and more are discovered by participants in this fun session through the use of numerous teambuilding activities and learning ways to create a fun and productive environment.

 
 
 

Becoming aware of the reasons people leave and stay with any employer are taught by a team building activitiy similar to the television show “The Apprentice” complete with hefty payoffs for the right answers. Team Tic-Tac-Toe is a fun activity that shows how to be a team building guru by building trust and team spirit which are key to achieving higher productivity. Being accountable for communication and goal setting are hilariously illustrated by “Drawing In The Dark.” Studies on laughter are also used to document significant points.

Making Work Fun Employees That Play Together Stay Together

   
 
 
 
Employees judge the quality of their jobs on the intrinsic satisfaction they feel by being appreciated and supported. These factors are powerful predictors of commitment, loyalty and retention according to the "The National Study of the Changing Workforce" survey. A fun environment builds team spirit so that everyone feels valued. Relationships are reinforced when people enjoy their work. With this lighter atmosphere, communication and cooperation increase and employees are more willing to invest their energy into their workplace. Making work fun renews the desire and enthusiasm that employees had when they were first hired. It keeps them excited about staying and playing on a winning team.
 
 
 

This session is guaranteed fun. Experiential activities are used to get people involved and learning. Scavenger Hunt is a group effort to list items by letters of the alphabet that shows the importance of each team member's contribution. Responding to changing conditions is clearly demonstrated in two activities: One Word at a Time and Pushing Hands. The fun has a purpose. After each event, the activity is then metaphorically related to conditions at work. People often see new solutions to old problems when looked at in this playful way. Stories and magic add emphasis and statistics are delivered to show why employees that play together, stay together.
