If an employee does not feel his employer's respect and a broader meaning of his work, he will change jobs, sooner or later, and his knowledge and skills will leave with him. Most companies are aware of this now and that is why the interest in talent management has been rising so fast in the recent years. If talent management is a priority of yours for this year, focus on the following areas of employee development. The tips were marked as the most important priorities for retaining talents in 2013 by incentivemag.com.
1. Develop your talents' skills
Talented employees want to grow in their career by developing their skills, not only because of promotions.
2. Let them talk
Talented employees want to share their insights and ideas and therefore it is appropriate to focus on how to listen to them properly and collect their feedback.
3. Ensure talented leaders
Talented employees need supervisors they can appreciate and believe in. Connecting talents with leaders is therefore another crucial question that should not be ignored.
4. Offer greater responsibility
Talented employees should be inspired to show better and better performance. Search, therefore, more responsibility for them and show them that you appreciate them and want them to be successful.
5. Appreciate their achievements
Talented employees you cannot appreciate, will leave. Therefore, focus on ways to express your appreciation to reinforce a beneficial behavior and motivate talents to make further efforts.
