(6/2) 4 Avoidable Mistakes That Will Cause High Turnover in a Post-COVID World

By Joanne Kaldy / June 2, 2020

High turnover during and right after a pandemic is likely to create unnecessary chaos and instability. Take a few steps to prevent this problem and maintain a stable workforce:

  • Prioritize employee development. Realize that employees care about more than a paycheck. They want to grow, learn, gain new skills, and be more effective in their roles. Make sure you give them continuing education and training opportunities, despite the pandemic.
  • Avoid decision-making based on gut feelings and personal experience. If you must make tough decisions, do so on facts and reliable information.
  • Communicate transparently about layoffs. If there will be layoffs/furloughs, be honest about them and transparent about how/when they will happen.
  • Listen and talk. Confusion, fear, stress, and panic are common during a crisis. Be prepared to communicate, share information, and respond to questions and concerns.
