Staff Retention
by Sarah
The City and Guilds have published a happiness index of employees which showed that 57% of employees stay with their current employer because of an interest in their job but only 44% remain due to their salary and benefits package.
Apparently good relationships with colleagues, a good work-life balance and lower stress are all key in making employees happy. Here at PJH Law we pride ourselves on a happy workplace as well as offering the trimmings to all staff. Speaking to a client this week I was explaining the link that is often missed between high levels of sickness and low morale. This client was discussing issues of morale within the department and when we looked at sickness absence levels we found that they had actually increased.
The research from the City and Guilds comes as no surprise to us at PJH Law who have long said that a happy workforce leads to greater staff retention and a higher productivity. It is quite clear that staff happiness effects the bottom line!
