Federal Employee Retention: No Gimmicks!

"Organizations are finding that quick fixes just don't work, and that the solutions are more about how you treat employees than gimmicks, games, and prizes.  True solutions require a change in management's attitudes and behaviors toward employees." -- Catherine D. Fyock In Keeping Talent: Strategies for Retaining Valued Federal Employees, January 2011, Partnership For Public Service, In "Retention Tactics That Work", Society For Human Resource Management, White Paper, 1998

"It is important to communicate to employees that you are trying to improve the workplace and improve retention and then actually follow through.  Walking the walk is important but so is talking the talk.  Packaging retention strategies as such helps improve employees' feelings towards the agency."  Focus Group Participant In Keeping Talent: Strategies for Retaining Valued Federal Employees, January 2011, Partnership For Public Service
