ARE YOU PREPARED TO LOSE YOUR EMPLOYEES?

By Kathy Weyer M.A.

The war on hiring talent may
just be around the corner.
Are your existing employees
engaged, or are they riding
out the rough times until
they can find something
“better”? There is a differ-
ence between being loyal
and being fully dedicated to
you and your organization,
and it may be tempting to
move on to what they see
as greener pastures.
Now is the time to get your
employees fully engaged
in your business and make
them a loyal, firmly engaged
part of your team. When
things get better (and I
suspect it’s coming sooner
rather than later) and em- San Diego
ployment loosens up, you Woman
may lose your best people if
you’re not prepared. 25
Take stock of who you have
and how they have ridden
out the storm, and who you
want to have with you along
the way. When opportuni-
ties abound, you can have
your employees react either
with great enthusiasm to
jump ship or a just-glance-
at-it-but-look-away attitude.
You want your best employ-
ees firmly rooted.
If you suspect they are not
fully engaged or they are
not your best employees
but you see some potential,
there are ways to get them
motivated and commit-
ted to perform to their best
abilities. Call Performance
