How SMEs can retain employees in the long term
In collaboration with the Swiss Institute for SMEs and Entrepreneurship, OBT AG has developed and published an SME guide on the subject of "Employee retention".
In times of a persistent shortage of skilled workers and the increasing willingness of employees to change jobs, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in particular are faced with the challenge of not only attracting qualified employees, but also retaining them in the long term. To support SMEs in this demanding task, OBT AG has developed a practical guide to employee retention in collaboration with the Swiss Institute for SMEs and Entrepreneurship at the University of St.Gallen.
The guide provides SMEs with a comprehensive overview of proven strategies and measures that have proved successful in practice. A particular focus is placed on intangible approaches such as the promotion of corporate culture, personnel development and flexible working models, as these often offer the greatest potential for employee retention - regardless of the financial resources available.
In addition to these aspects, material measures such as remuneration models and employee participation are also addressed. The guide answers key questions: Why is employee retention important? Which measures make sense? And how can they be successfully implemented in SMEs?
The guide is aimed specifically at SMEs and is designed to help them improve employee retention in a targeted manner and thus remain competitive in the long term. The guide can be here can be downloaded.
