Retention rates nosedive as majority of businesses find it difficult to retain top employees
The majority ( 72 %) of businesses are finding it difficult to retain top employees , with 22 % admitting it ’ s very challenging , a new survey has revealed .
Alongside difficulties retaining top employees , almost two-thirds ( 64 %) noticed an increase in employee turnover in the past 12 months . That ’ s according to a survey of 250 HR professionals , conducted by StaffCircle , an all-in-one Employee Success Platform , which found that 60 % of HR professionals are restricted by lack of real-time data that drives better retention : performance , engagement and development insights .
Worryingly , performance management data is still logged on paper or spreadsheets for half ( 49 %) of HR professionals , with a further 48 % unconfident in the accuracy of their employee performance and engagement data . This suggests an inability to react or implement changes in real-time to resolve issues or motivate key players .
“ Without real-time data and insights , organisations simply cannot understand their workforce ,” said Mark Seemann , Founder and CEO at StaffCircle . “ On average , HR teams are spending 3 – 4 days a month on performance management admin – time that could
be spent on employee training or mentoring . Too many still rely on spreadsheets and paperwork . Something has to change .”
Only 28 % of HR leaders are capturing , storing and viewing employee performance and development insights on an online platform . A further 21 % of respondents have information siloed across different platforms , and , worryingly , 7 % don ’ t capture , store or view these insights at all . When asked how long it takes to access employee data or insights , 60 % have to spend up to a week or more to gain access . Ten percent have to wait more than a month to access this data , and 8 % can ’ t view this vital data at all . x
