How do we improve our recruiting and retention
— as well as the bottom line?
The best and brightest will be drawn to, and remain with, a company
that values and respects them as individuals. Demonstrate and communicate
your commitment to the diversity in your current and potential workforce,
with programs and policies that value and respect differences across
all the demographics in your organization:
-
Understand and address the differences in generations. The personal
priorities and needs of a 28-year old may be significantly different
from those of a 48-year old. Appreciate every age group, and offer
the programs that will motivate them and meet their needs at every
stage of their lives.
-
Understand and address the differences in family structures. “Family
friendly” shouldn’t mean you care only about employees
with children. According to your organizational demographics, consider
programs and incentives for single professionals, marrieds with
no children, domestic partners, same-sex unions, grandparents.
-
Understand and address the differences in ethnic and cultural backgrounds.
The most recent US Census numbers show the rich diversity that is
evolving across the nation.
