How Biotechs Are Focusing On Employee Retention
Recently, biotech and pharma companies have had to turn their focus on employee turnover and retention. Many businesses have found themselves at risk of losing valuable professionals to other companies. BioSpace offers these tips to avoid this problem:
1. Recognize which of your employees are disengaged from their work. These professionals that show a lack of care or commitment are the ones most likely dissatisfied with their job and looking for work elsewhere.
2. If you want to keep your employees happy and satisfied, you must listen to them. Periodically check in with your employees to make sure their needs are met. Find the cause of any issues and find a solution to the problem.
3. Although it is important for leaders to be authoritative and decisive, they should also have “soft skills,” such as being calm, perceptive, and a good listener. Employee relationship with their supervisor is a key factor in employee well being.
4. Lastly, hire employees that you feel are a good fit with your company culture. This will ensure happiness in the long run. Including multiple leaders in the interview process may prove to be helpful in determining the candidate’s fit.
