10 Key Retention Factors

Number Three: Loyalty

Apprentices want to make a commitment to an employer, but that attachment is based on job satisfaction. Apprentices who are loyal to the company are more apt to market the merits of the business and to stay, leading to less turnover and higher productivity.

  • Be loyal and supportive of apprentices, it's the best way to encourage them to be loyal to you!
  • Deliver on your commitments: if you make them, keep them - it's the best way to build the relationship
  • Seek out and use feedback from your apprentices
  • Appreciate and recognize apprentices
