Retention in a company is not just about idealism; it hinges on integrity. It's crucial to create alignment among peers and managers within a company. When employees share the same values and purpose, they are more likely to stay in the organization. Companies should ensure that employees' motives are in sync with the company culture. If a company is solely profit-driven, it should communicate this clearly so that employees who do not align with this focus can find opportunities elsewhere. Ultimately, fostering retention is about maintaining consistency, integrity, and shared values among the workforce.
If a leader does not provide employees with a primary motivation, something else will fill that gap. This week, Pat and the team discuss alignment around clarity and the difference between micro and macro motivations.
