360Learning - 70 years in the same role

Most people only stay 4 to 5 years in the same job before moving on. But not at Buckingham Palace. Today’s the first day of the Platinum Jubilee, a long weekend during which the United Kingdom will come together to celebrate Her Majesty The Queen’s 70 years on the throne—longer than any other British monarch. Talk about employee retention! 

So, what can the rest of us who aren’t members of the royal family do to ensure happy, productive, and long tenures for our employees? Recognizing and rewarding colleagues for their hard work is surely a step in the right direction. Identifying and closing skills gaps through learning workflows is another safe bet. Of course, you want to make sure new hires’ first 100 days are engaging and impactful, too. The longer you stick around, the more you’ll want to prove your impact as a strategic business partner.  

Though, perhaps it just comes down to the perks: allowing you to bring your pet to work (as long as it’s a corgi), free tea and biscuits, and a palatial office setting might just be the secret sauce of good employee retention. 

However you plan to spend this weekend—attending parades, binge-watching episodes of the Crown, or just like any other day—don’t forget to join the L&D Collective, check out our L&D resources below, or connect with us on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter!
