This week is the last in the series on “The Number 1 Employee Benefit That No One is Talking About.”
3. Talk about great managers as your company’s No. 1 benefit.
There are many more poor managers than great managers, so this benefit is rare and differentiates your organization from the rest.
Writes Tom Nolan and Jane Smith of the Gallup Organization:
“Now that you know the breadth of influence managers have on your company — and how to find and hire talented ones — it’s time to sing their praises.
Publicize your great managers on hiring websites as a major part of your EVP, and make sure prospective employees know the benefit a truly talented manager can bring to their work and life.
Remember — half of all people searching for a new job left a job because of a bad manager.
All other things being equal, when an individual is considering two companies in their job search, they’ll choose the company with better managers.
The effect of a great manager is the gift that keeps on giving.
Happy, healthy employees mean a better culture and a more productive, profitable company. They love their jobs and spread the word — setting you up to hire and keep more top talent.”
More suggestions from Gallup:
- Develop a powerful employment brand that positions your managers as a sought-after employee benefit.
