Slightly above pay gets them in the door. But that doesn’t keep them. Retention requires belonging: the feeling, owning, and caring for them, in successes, dreams, and failures. #feeowncare
And while pay, when used as a function of caring, is great, I kind of feel Tim's post perpetuates, a transactional model, focused purely on pay that continues an isolating and lonely workplace design.
And the data is clear, pay doesn’t create retention. It does get them in the door and may prompt someone to leave their current workplace where they don’t have belonging to at least get more pay somewhere else.
Belonging over pizza = retention.
