Corra has seen some cheapskate employers in its day. They wonder why their employees show no loyalty and are quick to move on to another offer. A better offer.
Simply put, if you want your employees to stick around, make it worth their while. Offering incentive raises is one way, as well as bonuses and, dare I say it?, equity positions.
But if you are being generous, then it is fair that your generosity should show its own rewards. You desire loyalty and, above all, performance and honesty in your employees.
So make sure you find the right employment candidates, before you start offering incentives. Running a thorough background check will assist your HR people in making the right decision. A Social Security Trace and Criminal Background Check are a must, and Corra recommends an education verification search for your mid to upper level candidates.
