If you were planning to quit your job, what would it take to persuade you to stay? Better benefits? A

bigger paycheck? More flexibility?• According to CareerBuilder, 39% of employers are

concerned that they’ll lose top talent in 2013. While 66% of workers stated that they are generally satisfied at work, one in four (25%) said they plan to change jobs this year or next.

• CareerBuilder conducted a survey among 2,611 hiring managers and human resource professionals and 3,991 workers nationwide to find what employees value in the workplace, and what ultimately entices them to stay with their employers.

List of characteristics that signal a “superstar.”

• Self-starter – Regularly demonstrating initiative, self-starters continually take on new challenges and responsibilities — pushing themselves and those around them to step outside of their written job descriptions and think outside the box. In addition, they don’t shy away from making the tough call in order to achieve what is right for the customer and their company.

• Demonstrates a high propensity for learning – High potential employees are always improving and enhancing their craft. Not only do they learn from their mistakes, they seek feedback from others and continually embrace new ideas and creative ways of thinking.

• Sets a strategic mindset – Star performers rarely focus the majority of their attention on short-term strategies. Instead, they keep an eye out for trends or voids in the marketplace and turn them into opportunities for their company’s long-term success.

• Maintains a clear line of sight – Superstar employees have no trouble rising above an avalanche of activities, meetings and work emergencies to keep a clear focus and discipline on what really matters.

• Well-liked and genuine – High potential employees are energetic, genuine and well-liked individuals. They know how to foster teamwork, inspire those around them and ensure that other employees know that their contributions matter to the company.

• An influential communicator – Perhaps the most important characteristic of a leader is their ability to speak in a way that inspires and captures the energy and imagination of others. A star performer helps others see the positives that can be achieved in the workplace and directs employees toward a personal and professional path of success.

Retention tools

1. Motivation

What it is that motivates this group of employees? It can be different for many; some it could be compensation where others it may be learning opportunities, challenging work or the ability to advance within the organization. If retaining these employees is important to the organization than it is critical that you find out what motivates them and build a plan accordingly.

2. Training and development

As mentioned previously, training and development budgets were one of the first causalities during the economic downturn. Now as the global economy turns around and aggressive growth strategies are developed it is more important than ever to ensure you have the right training and development programs in place to retain & develop your already existing key talent.

3. Opportunities: Unfortunately you may have lost some of your talent through natural attrition. Therefore, you need to determine where those gaps are within your organization and either attract externally or use this as the prime opportunity to develop one of your identified high potential employees and groom them accordingly. There is no better way to retain a key employee than to provide them with a career development opportunity, provided the right tools are put in place to help make the employee successful.

4. Compensation : You need to review and ramp up your total compensation programs. The market place will only become more competitive and many of your key talent may be feeling a little disillusioned with the lack of merit increases, possible cut backs in base salaries and/or lack of bonuses over the last couple of years, therefore may be shopping the market for some new opportunities.

Again, this is a critical time to ensure you have benchmarked your total compensation plans ensuring you are truly competitive

5. Engagement• Lastly, are you involving your key talent in the strategy and

development initiatives of the company? Are you making them feel like they are part of the big picture and a key contributor? If not, involve them with your strategy sessions or key projects, stretch them, hold them accountable – CHALLENGE THEM! Many times this is all they are looking for, an opportunity to learn and become more valuable to the organization. It is a WIN-WIN formula.
