I'm sure you'll get a lot more ideas from posts, but in the meantime one place you could try is www.workforce.com/archive; click on "retention" on the right.

We have been trying to beef up our voluntary benefit offerings. The long list seems to attract and help retain employees. Our best program yet has been www.pointandquote.com. It has saved the employees money on their auto insurance and cost us nothing to implement. There was no obligation and you only needed to have 10 fulltime employees....check it out! |

You may consider the idea of Internship Program. Many advantages, just to name a few: (1) Build a strong University relationship, one of you major suppliers of future talents. (2) Maintain a relationship with the good performing interns even after they've left thru' e.g. an Alumni Club.
Maintain that relationship even if they don't come to work with you right after graduation. It's alright if they go to someone else, because that's good training. One day you offer them a good career and reward package that they can't resist. (3) The Alumni Club idea can be extended to exit employees. Don't cut off your relationship with employees just because they are leaving you. Consider that as an opportunity to let them have other exposure. When the time is right and your offer is attractive enough, get them back. The money you spend in maintaing the relationship and attracting him back is money well spent. This is a better investment than spending on expensive development programs, or effort in retaining them. Let go if their hearts and souls are no longer with you. Salvaging is not your best option - business wise. New blood brings in new ideas. New talents perform best in their first 5 years of employment in new environment because they feel it's stimulating and challenging. Hope this helps. |

Consider contacting any military installations within commuting distance. Most have referral programs for family members newly arriving to the area, and for military personnel who are leaving active duty. They can be a great source of "fresh talent" in the local area, without relocation costs. Referral services are free to employers, too, so you've nothing to lose. Some will even pre-screen applicants, if you don't want to be hit with a deluge of resumes. As for stability, figures from the BLS suggest that on average, they're comparable to anyone else-- so fears of high turnover associated with military family members are unwarranted. |
