Could you imagine if 75% of your staff left for another opportunity? It could happen. According to LinkedIn’s Talent Trends 2014, 75% of professionals are open to changing jobs! With the average time to fill a position nearly an entire month, passive recruiting could be a detriment to your bottom line, and your business.
In order to retain your talent, it’s crucial that you understand what motivates a passive candidate to leave your organization. Here is a break down of the top motivations listed for considering a career change by passive candidates:
- Better compensation & benefits
- Better work/life balance
- Greater opportunities for advancement
- More challenging work
- Better fit for skill set
The key to maintaining your top performers is making sure that you provide them with a well rounded career opportunity. Identifying what motivates them will help you determine ways to keep them engaged, encouraged, and excited to grow their career with you. Frequent conversations with your staff can help you to identify what is important to them, what would entice them to grow with the organization, and what areas they are disappointed in with their current role.
