Managing Employee Attrition

Over the years, HR jargon on employee separation has moved from "Reducing Attrition" to "Managing Attrition". There is a subtle but sure difference between the two. Managing attrition accepts that attrition is not just unavoidable but that it is also in many way an essential part of creating the organisation pyramid. It is being increasing recognized that not all attrition is either bad or controllable. Therefore it is important to be able to therefore identify which attrition is "regrettable" and which is controllable. Regrettable attrition in simple terms is the loss of good people defined both in terms of their performance as well as potential. Obviously such people would have been an asset to the organisation today as well as in times to come. Understanding and measuring regrettable attrition is the first step in controlling it. This requires a capability in the organisation to map its people across the Performance-Potential matrix and identify which are the people that need to be nurtured and retained.Controllable attrition on the other hands deals with the degree of control an organisation has or potentially could have, on the reasons leading to the departure of an employee. This has a direct bearing on the retention strategy. Every so often fairly engaged employees will quit and go. They go not because they want to but because they have to. Relocation triggered by the spouse's career moves, family needs that require time off work or move to another town/country are all examples of personal reasons why employees leave even when they may not want to. These are personal uncontrollable reasons. Another set of issues that may cause a similar outcome would be organizational but also uncontrollable. Re-location or closing of business divisions or plants and offices often cause people to leave.But there are a host of "controllable" or avoidable reasons too that can be understood and proactively addressed to prevent such attrition. Managing attrition therefore requires that we first identify our regret list i.e. people whom we would never want to lose. The next step would be to analyze the reasons for which people leave especially those gathered from past regretted exits. Knowing these two should help formulate an actionable strategy to minimize regretted attrition.

Setting Goals for Success

"In any and every given moment of your life, you are either in command of yourself... or you are being commanded." -Guy Finley, Author
It pays to learn, especially from your mistakes. The successful entrepreneur learns how to deal with mistakes every day. They look forward to the challenge. It's important to remember that they don't have to know it all. There's always someone they can go to for assistance, support, or technical information.
To experience success means you have to set goals and take the necessary actions to make your goals happen. This process of learning continues until you've mastered it. After every failure, you can compliment yourself for trying, then tell yourself to try again.
Setting goals to reach success is like climbing a mountain. It takes a very long time to reach the top. Along the way may be several obstacles, but you must keep going. Further on you may stumble and need to rest. To reach the next level, there may be times when you have to take a different path or go around the obstacle. The last step to the top is the crucial one and requires all your concentration. Don't let the difficult climb persuade you to quit or from setting higher goals. If you enjoy the climb, you will eventually reach the top!
There is power and energy in accomplishment. Develop goals that you are passionate about, then work to make them real. If you miss reaching one goal, learn what you did wrong, and try again. You have every right to be successful. Failure means giving up. If your goal is strong enough and you are committed and passionate enough about what you wish to accomplish, it will happen. Wouldn't one idea be worth it, if it helped thousands of others to live better, be healthier, save more money, save time, help the environment, create new businesses, and employ others?
Successful entrepreneurs have a certain mental and positive attitude. They believe in themselves and are convinced that they can live richer, fuller lives. They fulfill their own personal desires for happiness. They are familiar with hard work and responsibility.
Take any business or service that is already established and successful and think of other products or services that may help others in different and new ways. Expand your consciousness; think success. Develop your need to be creative. Think outside of your normal way of doing, acting, and being. You may surprise yourself into discovering the next invention, the next form of entertainment, or the next wave of technology. Get rid of self-defeating habits and attitudes. Success comes to those who look for it.
Here are some goals you may set for reaching success in your life:
1. What are you passionate about?
Make a list of things you love to do. A few ideas and types of businesses that may lead you to think of new products, new services, or new inventions may include:
* Travel * Fitness/Health Care * Electronics * Technology/Internet/World Wide Web * Teaching/Instructional Workshops* Public speaking * Writing: Books/Articles/Poetry/Advertising * Entertainment/Music/Acting * Gardening//Landscaping * Interior Design; Broadcasting/Television/Radio;* Spirituality/Inspiration/Self-Improvement
The list is endless.
2. Set goals with specific conditions.
Make your goals possible to accomplish. Plan your goals and structure your thoughts around positive actions. If you think your goal is impossible - it will be. Yet, if you think in positive terms, your goals will be easier to achieve. Refuse to let doubt sway you from your target. Stay positive and you'll get to your goal much faster.
3. Think big, yet be realistic.
Every accomplishment starts with a dream. Make your dream the biggest and the best - then work to make it come true. Write down everything you know about your dream and your desire to have it happen. What do you have to do? How soon can you make it happen? Be patient, nothing happens overnight.
4. Make a plan.
Write your dream, idea and your plan of action in the present tense: "I am successful." "I have a successful business." "My faith is strong and I am blessed financially." "I am going to reach my goal." This helps your mind to visualize the outcome. Your mind is forced to act as if your dream has already materialized. Your mind works in the present and makes no distinction between what is happening now and what has already happened. Confusion comes when you send your thoughts to the future or back to the past. The mind may shut down and stop working on what you desire.
5. Set values on your goals.
What value do you place on your life? On your career? On your business? What excites you? Let your imagination soar. Would you give up your values for someone else's if it meant losing your character or your faith? Your goals must be valuable to you before they can be fulfilled. When you focus on your dream, give it time to grow and develop. It soon becomes a reality.
6. Reward your progress.
When you achieve even the smallest step in accomplishing your goals, get excited. Compliment yourself for taking a step toward reaching your goal. There isn't anything more gratifying then accomplishing your goal. When you make a major accomplishment, do something for someone else. Celebrate it!
With unlimited opportunities to reach your dreams and goals; with unlimited access to knowledge, information, instructors, and places to go for help, there's no telling what you can accomplish - if you desire! Then...
Always remember to thank the source from which it all comes.

5 Steps to Goal Setting Success

Goal setting is the true secret to success in any area of life. But although setting a goal may seem simple, achieving it is usually another question altogether.
Why is that?
Because you will never achieve your goals unless you: (1) know exactly what you want, (2) are passionate about your goal, and (3) have a solid, realistic plan of action. This is what marks the difference between nebulous dreams and wishes - and truly achievable goals!
Many obstacles and challenges will fly right in your face when you're going after a goal. Here are 5 time-tested methods that will help get the success you deserve.
1. Know exactly what your goal is
Your first job is to discover exactly what your goal is. What will achieving that goal really look like? Be as specific as possible about exactly what your desired end result is. Your success will be a measure of your clarity - since an achievable goal plan cannot be created around a nebulous "dream."
If your goal is to create a more successful business, what will that look like? Are you thinking in terms of simply hiring someone else to give you more free time? Are you looking for a very specific monthly profit? Or can your goal be best expressed in terms of a certain lifestyle?
Regardless of what you want, the best way to get it is to first clarify exactly what you want in as much detail as possible. This can be hard work. But without a clear mental picture, you'll never have the focus required to achieve your goal.
2. Be willing to pay the "entry fee"
Success takes dedicated planning and effort. In a way it's like building a house. In the beginning all you have is a rough concept. Then you develop a complete set of plans - and you immediately move closer to success. The same is true of creating a better lifestyle, or a more successful business.
But there's always an *entry fee* to be paid for success.
The entry fee?
Creating more success in your business may mean less recreational time. Writing your own book may require less TV. Being closer to your children may require adjusting your work or social activities.
It's the "full glass" deal. If your life (your time) is already full to the top, there's no room for something new. The entry fee is carving out the time to create that something new.
3. Focus on your goal every day
I'm sure you probably want to achieve your goal as fast as possible. That's why clear mental focus is so very important.
Consistent daily focus is absolutely necessary to "burn in" the new neural pathways you need to create your new goal. Without daily focus, the old mental habits that have kept you from your goal will continue to take over.
This happens automatically - since these old habits replay 24/7 deep in your subconscious mind. The only way to override subconscious anti-success messages is to consciously focus on what you DO want - and build new neural networks!
That's why success is an every-day event.
Re-commit to your goal every day. Don't let your goal take a back seat to the daily tasks and distractions that will try to take over. Life WILL try to get in your way. Just get, and stay, on course every day. Focus on your goal, and on success!
4. Get passionate
One of the most powerful tools in your "success tool box" is having real passion for your goal.
Why passion?
Because intense passionate desire for your goal will help you burn in those new neural pathways even faster. Many, many scientific studies have shown that intense emotion (passion) is a key success tool.
PLUS (and this is really a *big* plus), intense passion will also help you rapidly override any inappropriate old "failure messages" stored in your subconscious mind.
5. Take consistent action
In many ways, actually taking action can be the most difficult step. Successful goal achievement is built by taking one small action after another.
The word is ACTION!
If you commit to take at least one small action each day, your actions WILL add up and make a difference. So avoid sitting back waiting for that big second when everything will magically "just happen."
You CAN create whatever you want in life. The secret is to determine exactly what you want, then pursue it passionately. But remember -- in the end, only action counts! You can't just dream about it! You have to DO IT!
