How Mobile App Technology is Changing the Game for Employees & Remote Workers
Finding and retaining quality, long-term employees is becoming increasingly difficult. A high-performing team member has been shown to be 400 percent more productive than average, according to a recent study of 600,000 organizations by Herman Aguinis and Ernest O’Boyle Jr.
This figure of productivity is further highlighted in more complex areas of management and software development. According to Steve Jobs, “a small team of A+ players can run circles around a giant team of B and C players.” However, finding and keeping the right talent can prove difficult.
A Shift in Mindset: Balance & Purpose
The recent cultural shifts mean that more individuals are reconsidering their employment circumstances and making significant decisions during a time when businesses require all the talent possible.
According to Gallup, many workers are weighing their options regarding work-life balance and purpose-driven work, leading to higher employer turnover. 61% of today’s workforce prioritizes purpose and work-life balance (compared to just 53% in 2015).
The Employer Problem: Attracting and Keeping Talent
The modern employment landscape is competitive, with many organizations looking for highly qualified talent. Finding key personnel who can drastically impact your bottom line and customer satisfaction is increasingly difficult.
Acquiring talent costs an average of $4,700 over 42 days to fill an open position, according to The Society for Human Resources Management.
Staff Retention & Employee Engagement
The modern business landscape shifts quickly, and employers have learned that focusing on staff retention will significantly impact efficiency.
The Key: Make your company desirable to work for, making it easier to hire superstars who are invested in the company’s success.
- Lack of Employee Recognition: Companies in the top 20% of employee engagement have 59% less turnover.
