Child Care Solutions: Retaining Employees
Childcare employee retention is not just the manager's job anymore
The statistics don't lie! Your employees are out there regularly looking for new jobs. Good news is 75% of turnover can be prevented. But how can we make the process of preventing turnover more manageable? Learn a smarter more unified approach on how to retain your employees by getting the whole organization involved in the task.
There are 4 areas of your organization that contribute to helping prevent turnover:
- Company
- Managers
- Employee
- Coworkers
By understanding the responsibilities each of these groups play in retention, along with having strategies to combat against obstacles they may face, will ensure your company has a well-rounded retention strategy.
How to unify your team
Conduct a simple exercise with your staff...
- Write down the responsibilities of each of the four groups within your organization that affect retention
- Write down obstacles each of these groups could face
- Agree on tasks each group can do to concentrate on improving their role in employee retention
- Hold each group accountable (reference impact on retention in reviews and 1-on-1 meetings)
- Measure improvement in turnover rate (start project with a benchmark and measure progress every 6 months)
Retaining teachers is hard, why not partner with a childcare expert and learn how to turn your culture around.
