Employee Retention Tip: Employee Data Sheets

Do you know your employees’ favorite candy bars, restaurants, charities, or sports teams? If not, make it a practice to have new employees fill out a “data sheet” as part of their onboarding process. When you want to recognize them for an achievement, you can refer to this sheet to give them something they’ll appreciate. You can also use the sheet to spot trends and identify fun team activities that everyone will enjoy. For example, if everyone likes the Red Sox, plan a company outing to the ballpark or the local sports bar. (For a sample form, email lhamel@humetrics.com with “Data Sheet” in the subject line.)
