Employee Retention & Incentive Programs
Employees are the lifeblood of every construction company. No matter the size of the company, each individual serves a purpose, and their performance either helps or hinders the organization – there is no middle-ground. With that in mind, realize that the goal of every business owner should be:
Hire the right individuals for each position
Set them up for success
Ensure that they are making a positive contribution to the company
Employee retention is a critical issue as contractors compete for talent. The costs of employee turnover are increasingly high — as much as 2.5x an employee’s salary depending on the role. And there are other soft costs, including lowered productivity, decreased engagement, training costs and cultural impact. By focusing on employee retention, construction companies can retain talented and motivated employees who are focused on contributing to the company’s overall success.
