The Party’s Over.
How will you retain your team facing equity dilution and attract new hires who perceive your company’s future is clouded?
Your current team is already being recruited every day with offers of higher pay. With their options underwater, there’s little reason for them to stay.
Potential hires are in control because of a tight job market. Already increasing salary demands will now also require you to pay a “risk” premium to successfully recruit.
There’s no single solution, but there is one key thing you can do to get ahead of this, but you need to move quickly.
The number one reason people leave jobs is because of dissatisfaction with their manager. Added to the issues previously mentioned and retaining talent becomes nearly impossible.
The solution? Level-up your management team’s skills by offering them coaching. Help turn them into the kinds of leaders for whom people want to go the extra mile and who inspire loyalty.
And consider offering coaching to all of your current and future team members. It’s still a rare benefit and helps differentiate your company by saying very clearly: we value your growth, whether here or wherever your career takes you.
