It’s no surprise when employees enjoy working and are engaged with their work, they are less likely to look for another job, but did you know that prioritizing the health and safety of your employees also reduces your business’ employee turnover rate?

Key Strategies to Reduce High Employee Turnover
1. Provide a Healthy Work Environment
When employees exhaust themselves with excessive work for prolonged periods of time, they are likely to burnout—contributing to higher employee turnover. Overworking is often accompanied by diminished physical and mental health, including depression, heart disease, high blood pressure, and chronic pain. These factors frequently lead to poor work performance.
How can you address this? The best way to reduce and prevent stress and burnout is to help employees take adequate breaks, potentially including adding additional employee PTO. Another way is to hold one-to-one meetings with your employees, allowing them to give input and feedback.
2. Encourage a Healthy Work-Life Balance
An unhealthy work-life balance can affect the overall health and well-being of your employees. Stress plays a huge factor when employees do not have a healthy work-life balance, which can eventually lead to high employee turnover rates. Stress can lead to health concerns and affect employees’ mental health.
To reduce this, promote a healthy work-life balance by encouraging them to take breaks and time off. This allows them to recover both mentally and physically.
3. Provide On-Site Clinics for Your Employees
On-site clinics help keep employees happy, healthy, and productive. Offering an on-site clinic or nurse provides easy access to care, detects and prevents health complications, and helps improve the overall health of your employees. OnSite Health serves employees and their families with acute and primary care services, biometric screenings, vaccinations, and much more. On-site clinics can control and reduce employee turnover rates by effectively improving employee health and satisfaction.
Putting employee health and safety first can reduce high employee turnover rates because employees tend to be more loyal to the employers that invest in them and care for them. Offering on-site clinics is one of the ways your business can reduce the high turnover rates. If you want to learn more about on-site clinics, contact us today!
