Despite this, many companies are not taking full advantage of the tools available to them to ensure employees longevity of career. In today's cut-throat corporate environment, a hard-working, talented worker lives in a world of endless opportunities, so unless you give them a reason to, staying with your company might not be the most attractive option to them.

If you have a high employee turnover rate, or you just have a lot of great talent that you don’t want to risk losing, it’s time to start giving people a reason to stay.

Employee health and mental wellbeing is becoming  a main focus for some prominent corporates, with mental health and wellness becoming an increasingly popular topic of discussion across the board.

When employees feel the burden of the workload is too great, having an outsourced virtual assistant to offload tasks to, can be worth its weight in gold. Alleviating the burden of a hectic work schedule often makes the difference between a positive and negative work environment, and enhancing the support function can allow staff to become more effective in their role.

Good work can often go unnoticed. At many companies, the only time employees might get attention for their work is when they make a mistake. Of course, issues need to be addressed, but only focusing on the bad can lead to a bad work environment.

Many employers do not offer training for their employees to move up within the organisation, and often seek external talent to fill new roles that become available. These employers often end up losing a lot of highly skilled employees if they don’t give them some way of moving up. At some point, most employees will outgrow the company and move on.

A positive working environment, with opportunities to progress and advance within the organisation, is often more than enough to attract and keep the best talent.
