Invest in training
Your team needs to be trained to serve the consumer of the future. More than that, they need to have the technical and practical knowledge to offer the best solutions.
Therefore, investing in constant training is a great opportunity for your brand to stand out from the competition and ensure business profitability.
Nowadays, there are several alternatives for promoting knowledge within your company. Here are some ideas:

- publicize training courses;
- have a good culture voucher;
- promote gamification;
- make time for employees to take courses in the company;
- promote chats with personalities from your field;
- create workshops with generic courses: time management, emotional intelligence and personal finance;
- invest in postgraduate and other courses for top talent;
- encourage reading;
- promote discussions on trends in the area;
- encourage participation in trade fairs and business meetings.
Focus on motivation
Motivation is the fuel that employees need to perform their routine with mastery. That's why investing in motivation programs (remembering that the training courses mentioned above are already a source of motivation) is a smart alternative for reducing turnover rates.
However, it's not enough just to create motivation programs without an idea of what employees need. Remember that in order to have a effective strategic planningIt needs to be based on real data from your business.
In this way, satisfaction surveys are great allies for checking what employees expect from the organization, as well as assessing what the weak and strong points are in the employee's view.

Be open to feedback
Investing in two-way communication is one of the main keys to effective people management in your organization. Employees need to be open to talking to managers when something isn't right.
In the same way, managers need to have good communication skills in order to draw an employee's attention when they do something wrong without it becoming a problem - or even turning into a labor lawsuit.
So promote excellent communication through weekly meetings, relaxed gatherings and always listen carefully to your employee's opinion.
Create an internal communication plan
Your company's internal communication can't basically be reduced to having a wall next to the time clock. Nor can sending out a weekly newsletter about the latest news.
This communication needs to be strategic. Again: the organizational climate survey is an excellent alternative for promoting a plan aimed at meeting your employees' expectations.
Therefore, remember that it is essential to have a good calendar with actions aimed at:
- promote satisfaction;
- induce the exchange of information;
- make employees socialize and get to know each other better;
- motivate employees;
- train staff to deal with bad weather;
- show that the company is concerned about the well-being and quality of life of its employees;
- promote engagement at work.
