hey youtubers it's me Jennifer tardy I am your career success coach and we are
back for another video in in this video I want to share with you some telltale
signs that your company is trying to keep you they want you to stay okay so
let's just jump right in I have eight quick tips that I want to share with you
so that you know whether or not a company that you're working with is
really trying to retain you as an employee so the very first thing that
they do is they invest in you they develop you so whatever sort of not
whatever but if you need trainings to to further hone your skills in your talent
if you need to go to different lunch and learns or anything that they can do to
help you stay connected to become a better you employee then they're going
to make sure that they do that for you the next thing that employers will do
who really want to unruhe tain you is that they will really work with you if
as much as they can to help you with balancing work and life that work-life
balance can be a really really tough thing but if that company really wants
to retain you they'll offer you some flexibility here and there to really
help you balance the load overall the next thing that they'll do they'll give
you continuous feedback you'll never have to wonder where you stand with an
employer who is who is happy with the work that you're doing so they'll give
you feedback and let you know that if you need to hone this area or if you're
doing great here because all of it is going to make you a better person
overall so be very very appreciative of that feedback that they give you now
some employers will actually connect you to a mentor or a coach or a sponsor and
again I talk about that as if it's interchangeable however that they mean
very different things but for the sake of this they're going to connect you to
someone who help you to navigate the political
climate of the organization so because they know that in the end it's going to
help you to stay engaged to stay focused and it's going to help to improve you in
areas that maybe not even your staff manager or your manager can can help you
another way that you know that an organization wants to retain you is that
they'll talk about your future with you if your organization is talking about
your future with you it's because they're already seeing your future there
at the organization so that's a really really good sign whether they're talking
to you about where they see you going next or whether they're asking you
what's of interest to you an organization is not going to have that
conversation with you if they want you to leave the company pretty soon another
thing that an organization will do is they'll give you more opportunities to
be visible to be visible among your peers to be visible among leaders within
the organization so whether that means putting you on short-term assignments or
whether you're working on projects here there but whether you just have a highly
visible assignment or deliverable that you have to present out to people who
are higher in the organization that visibility is very intentional it's to
make sure that other people get an opportunity to see just how awesome you
are which is what I'm sure your manager already sees if they're helping you to
get that visibility another thing that your manager will do is they'll offer
you more challenging work so if you've already done a great job and you've
knocked their socks off in some of the projects or deliverables that they've
given you they don't find something that's just a little more challenging so
and they can see what your capacity is what your threshold is and in speaking
on behalf of managers we love being able to find someone that we can trust and
depend on within our team that we know is going to get the
done and we are happy to offer more challenging work for you and when that
opportunity comes and and and the very final sign there may be others but the
final sign that's on my list is that you'll know the note organization wants
to retain you because they're looking at other opportunities such as a promotion
for you so so getting a promotion means if they see something in you they're
investing in you they're investing in you to go to the next position which you
know probably has checked off a lot of new things on your list that will be
awesome for you so that promotion is a great great indicator so how many of
those did you find that meets the organization that you're working with
now not every organization is going to do all of these things but I can tell
you there are some excellent organizations out there that they will
do all of those things and I was talking to my brother-in-law at the last company
that he used to work for they did so many great things for him and before he
left it was actually a really really really big challenge for him solely he
stayed at this organization for eight years because they took care of him so
much but he also knew which I talked about in a different video he also knew
that in order for him to to keep up with his technical expertise that he needed
to go elsewhere so these are the great things that companies do if they want to
keep you if you know of some other things that companies do to keep people
