We've heard about the Great Resignation, but have we focused enough attention and strategy on the Great Retention and Reorganization? For transformational leaders in the higher education landscape, the great resignation affords institutions with something that they have traditionally lacked, namely, churn.

Reports about ‘The Great Resignation' have led many employees to think now is a good time for them to leave too. Research shows employees' primary motive behind the mass exodus is the failure to develop relationships in their hybrid workplace. · Employers can turn the tide of the “Great Resignation” to “Great Retention” without giving away big bonuses, pay raises, and extra vacation days. Instead, employers simply need managers to do a better job keeping their teams engaged. A simple warm up exercise has gained traction fostering connection in the hybrid workplace. · The ‘If You Really Knew Me' icebreaker breaks down the barriers employees have built up during the pandemic. Once participants begin with “If you Really Knew Me”, they open up and begin sharing, it helps to create an atmosphere of connection. I describe it as a sort of relational release of built up tension from not being physically in front of each other. The exercise creates an authentic sense of connection in a hybrid workplace. · Responses from employees included: If You Really Knew Me You'd Know That… · I have a brother with special needs · My all-time favorite musician is saxophone player, KennyG · My mother died last month and I'm struggling to get out of bed. · I have 2 overweight cats that sleep by my home office while I work all day · The most impactful time spent facilitating virtual meetings is watching employees be more vulnerable and share their emotions.

In the age of the great resignation, business owners of all size companies are struggling with employee turnover. The pandemic had accelerated the resignations, but if you have employees, sooner or later you will need to address employee turnover. It is a natural part of owning a business. People will come and go for a variety of reasons. In some cases, there are things you can't control (a spouse is transferred out of state or the employee is recruited by a firm that will pay 1-1/2 times what they make with your firm). The trick in reducing employee turnover is to focus on things you can control. Improve company culture One of the best ways to reduced employee turnover is to create an environment where people want to work.   Be selective about who you hire Take your time, even if it feels like forever, to find people who have the right skill and the right attitude. And if you make a bad hire, address toxic individuals head on.    Take responsibility for your team's satisfaction Talk about the long term, even if it isn't with you.  Always be recruiting Take your time, find the right people, train them correctly and you will be well on your way to reducing employee turnover.

Let me guess: you're hiring. You're probably also willing to do just about anything to keep the staff you have. In this ask me anything episode, I respond to an audience question about what it takes to keep staff engaged and motivated, while also keeping a high performance bar. Provide a nurturing work environment that emphasizes flexibility, staff visibility and opportunities to grow. It's about the work you do, not just the work environment. Emphasize meaningful work that aligns with each person's personal development goals. Focus not just on diversity and inclusion, but on equitable decision making. Equity extends to fair assessment of performance. It's not fair to the other staff to gloss over poor work habits or skill gaps. Build in ways to measure growth and learn from failures. Appreciate the small wins and achievements and help your staff see the connection back to their personal goals. STARBUCKS GIVEAWAY: To join in the fun. Do this 1.

Do our actions line up with our talk? Or are we throwing money and people at the problem, crossing our fingers that we meet our business goals?

Listen to this brief audio as Barbara highlights the ingredients leaders must align to ensure both individual career paths and organizational success.
