8 Steps to Keeping High Performers During Recession
While an employee who is an average performer rarely considers leaving his or her job during a difficult economic period, high-potential employees do, according to research by Sirota Survey Intelligence.
The firm has found that the actions taken by employers during a recession can start a process that unintentionally devalues employees (by seeing them as costs to be controlled, rather than assets to be valued). For example, many companies will centralize decision-making, control information, reduce entrepreneurial risk-taking, and reduce (or eliminate) discretionary rewards--and this makes it more likely that high performers will defect.
