Seven Ways To Improve The Well Being of Your Team
Webmaster August 5th, 2007
Sital Ruparelia, a Recruitment & Retention Expert who works with small and mid-sized businesses that struggle with recruitment and retention issues and helps them implement strategies proven to find and keep the right people quickly and cost effectively. She came up with 7 ways that you can improve the well-being of your team and further enhance your ability to retain great people.
1. Set up subsidised membership for staff at the local gym. Competition for new members is fierce in the fitness industry so it should be easy to secure a good deal. Of course it also becomes a great pull when you are hiring staff as well.
2. Let your team leave work 1-2 hours early once a week. So they can get to the gym or spend more time with their families. They will be back the next day more motivated and refreshed.
3. Provide free fruit and bottles of water for the team
4. Set up arrangements locally for the team to have free or subsidised eye test or dental check ups. Ensure you set it up in a way that it costs you nothing (or close to nothing).
5. Fire your worst customers / clients. Clients who are rude, don’t pay on time, are dead beats or bounce checks, and don’t refer you new business are simply not worth the stress they cause you and your team.
6. Give away a weeks worth of smokers patches or chewing gum for those trying to kick their nicotine habit.
7. Encourage people to get out, get fresh air and take a walk 2-3 times a week.
