10 Key Retention Factors

Number Two: Liking Co-Workers

Liking their Co-workers is one of the most important factors in creating a positive work environment, and seems to be more important than concern for remuneration. Liking Co-workers definitely  affects whether or not an apprentice stays with an employer. If an employer hires the right people cooperation and cohesiveness improves in the workplace, and productivity is increased. Be sure to:

  • Make the investment to hire the right people, to create a culture that nurtures positive attitudes, pride and cooperation
  • Be a role model yourself: interact with employees in a positive way
  • Create a working environment that employees will enjoy coming to every day
  • Establish work units or teams to further develop cooperation and collaboration
