One proven strategy is to offer incentives that employees really want, reports Matt Straz, CEO of human resources and payroll platform Namely, in an article at Entrepreneur.com
A study by the Chartered Institute of Personnel Development found that after salary, one of the top ideas for employee retention is to motivate and recognize them with something they want.
Stratz describes how, in the past, companies might have offered cell phones, travel reimbursements, or coffee and sodas in the break room. The study noted that many organizations also try to offer “fun” rewards - by hosting company picnics or even allowing employees to bring their pets to work.
