Finding good employees is hard, but keeping good employees can be even harder. Losing key employees can be
devastating to a business owner. Quite a bit of time, effort, and even money goes into training employees, and
replacing an employee means that you have to face that expense - in both time and money - once again. Here are
some tips on how to keep your employees.

1. Treat your employees as you wish to be treated - with respect. Never embarrass an employee in front of other
staff or customers. If an employee does something wrong, the issue should be addressed in private, and the
employee should still be treated with respect.

2. Listen to your employees. Often, employees are able to see problems in the business that the business owner does
not see. They can also come up with ways to make the business more efficient. When an employee makes a
suggestion, take it seriously and let the employee know that you will think about it. If you implement their ideas,
make sure that you give them credit for it, and reward them appropriately.

3. Keep your employees motivated with incentives, bonuses, and raises. Schedule job performance reviews, and give
raises to those employees who are earning them. Consider giving Christmas bonuses, and other bonuses throughout
the year as well. You can even hold contests for your employees, offering a paid vacation or concert tickets to the
employee who makes the most sales during a given time period.
