Work-life balance
According to Talent Management, employees today demand flexibility in terms of scheduling, and the possibility of balancing their personal and professional lives. Young people in particular no longer want to spend all their time at work. It is therefore necessary to enable them to have a quality personal life in addition to work.
A positive working environment
We spend a large part of our lives at work and today's employees are increasingly aware of this. They know they work to live, not the other way around. Therefore they care about the quality of their working environment and want to feel good in it. So you need to offer a positive work environment with a friendly atmosphere and fair company culture; then your employees will be much more loyal to the company.
A deeper meaning to work
A significant number of workers want to see at least some deeper meaning in what they do. Many employees do not want their work to go against their core values, be they environmental, cultural or existential. If you can offer employees a deeper meaning along with their work, your success is already half guaranteed.
Development, education and advancement
While there are those who do not mind stagnating and staying in one place, most people (especially the clever and ambitious ones) want to learn, move and develop. If you do not meet this requirement in the long term with your employees, many of them will become dissatisfied and seek employment in companies that offer opportunities to develop.
Room for self-initiative
No one wants to be a mere non-autonomous cog in the machine. Everyone would like some degree of initiative and the possibility of working independently. As a company, therefore, you should combat micromanagement in the long term and have a system in place for gradually expanding the competences of individual employees (if, of course, they want this).
