Great employees are even harder to come by. When one of them leaves, it hurts. And we\u2019re not just talking about your feelings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Employee turnover hurts productivity, morale, and your bottom line. Busy Human Resource managers end up with more work on their already full plates in addition to dealing with the cost and effort that goes into hiring and training someone new. All of this can be even more aggravating when you thought you\u2019d hired that perfect fit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The thing is, even the most dedicated employee will consider leaving under the right circumstances.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s often said that employees don\u2019t leave bad positions. They leave bad managers. If you want to hold onto your most creative and capable team members, you need to provide them with one critical incentive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Inspired Leadership<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Go-getters like other go-getters. If you hire someone for their awesome skills, outgoing personality and can-do attitude and then place that excited new hire with a negative boss or in a stagnant department, the honeymoon won\u2019t last very long.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even if they truly love the company product, goals and\/or mission, your gold-star employees will soon feel disillusioned if they aren\u2019t given the tools and the leadership necessary to succeed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So what does inspired leadership look like? Let\u2019s break it down to 10 key leadership attributes. Effective leaders:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lead by example<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are open to new ideas<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Empower staff to succeed<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make themselves accessible<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Create an inspirational vision<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Provide guidance and support<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Communicate openly and often<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trust their teams and processes<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recognize and reward hard work<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Value their employees as people<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this kind of environment, most employees will feel supported and successful. In addition to giving you their best and sticking around for the long haul, they may even refer other fantastic people to your team.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If there\u2019s a lack of organizational or team leadership, the very same people in the very same jobs will have a very different experience. Instead of being excited about working for you and inspiring talented friends and colleagues to join them, they\u2019ll be asking their friends about <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">their<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> workplace cultures and leadership styles. And potentially jumping ship.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t let lackluster leadership be the reason your hard-earned hires leave. Commit to great leadership and your employees will be more committed to you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Already have great leadership in place? Awesome. Do your employee benefits live up to the same high standards? Recruiting and retaining employees is easier when you can proudly offer a comprehensive benefits plan that makes your team members feel as valuable as they are.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At Sonus, this is what we do for clients throughout the Midwest every single day because we believe Happy Teams are Productive Teams.
