1 in 3 workers are considering switching jobs in the next six months. Basically, 80% of workers were finding meaning in their work, 35% of them were considering changing jobs in the next few months, in despite of reporting a positive job experience, they were still not satisfied with their employment conditions to consider staying on at their jobs.
One effective strategy for increasing retention is On-the-Job Training (OJT). By engaging new hires during their first 90 days, the most critical period for retention, OJT helps them feel supported, prepared, and connected from day one.
Key components of the OJT are:
- Relevant Training Builds Retention: Structured, purposeful training helps new employees see the value of their work, increasing motivation and reducing early turnover.
- Confidence Drives Performance: Employees who receive solid on-the-job training (OJT) feel more prepared, leading to higher satisfaction and better performance.
- Stronger Teams, Higher Morale: Reducing turnover through effective OJT preserves team morale, eases pressure on staff, and stabilizes team dynamics.
- Loyal, Skilled Workforce: OJT not only equips individuals but strengthens the entire workforce by fostering adaptability, engagement, and long-term commitment.
In competitive job markets like the Gulf Coast region, companies that implement OJT programs not only retain talent more effectively, but also position themselves as employers of choice.
