Is your turnover rate higher than years past? Are you not pulling in the high-level employees you used to? Your office space, amenities, and location may have a lot to do with this. People want to work in a fun and energizing environment. They also may not want to go to a new job if they can’t depend on the location for a long period of time. If they don’t see either of those things from your office they may look for a place that does have that. Now more than ever, the younger generation in the workforce is choosing workplaces with in-house amenities and areas to hang out in, where they prefer to be located. These offices have multiple in-house dining options, including healthy choices. They also have wifi areas and other services inside. I’m not saying your office has to have this to attract top young talent, but these are just some of the options that the under-34 age group looks for. If you own space, you can specifically tailor much of it to that generation’s wants. Attracting talent to the top areas with the best amenities surrounding it is so much easier than having them come to work in a run-down area. Parking and traffic are factors here as well, just as they are with retaining your own employees.
