Participated in a live conference by Chester Elton some weeks ago. Topic is about employee retention. Lots of amazing tips for employers.

He did a ground breaking research which involved a staggering 850,000 employees across many nations.  The study found that there are 23 MAIN MOTIVATORS FOR STAFF TO STAY ON THE JOB. And each staff has a different leading motivator.

A part of the stats was quite surprising to me and probably to many others as well.

Leading motivators for millennials are :

• IMPACT 68%
• LEARNING 65%
• FAMILY 51%

The least motivating factors for them are :

• AUTONOMY 18%
• OWNERSHIP 17%
• MONEY 10%

The most interesting and ground-breaking part of the study shows 2 EFFECTIVE METHODS deployed by companies with very low staff turnover :

1. Very Frequent Employer-Employee Engagement
2. Employers know the leading motivator for each staff

Chester and his associates have created a practical assessment method to figure out the main motivating factor for each staff. Successfully done on 15,000 employees of various industries.

Expect these 5 outstanding results when employers are highly engaged with their staff and know their leading motivators:

1. Higher Quality Work
2. Greater Output
3. Higher Incomes
4. Less Voluntary Attrition
5. A 150% increase in happiness in their life.
