My company is facing a high rate of employee resignation, I'm afraid that if this continues, my business will suffer. How can I create a perception that other companies are severely exploiting their employees, thus preventing my employees from considering resigning?

Creating a perception that other companies are severely exploiting their employees is a challenging task, however you may be able to leverage industry standards and trends to your advantage. Studies have shown that most employees look at salaries and benefits when determining whether or not they should resign, so it might be beneficial for your company to perform an anonymous survey on employment levels, working conditions and salaries in the region to see what other companies are offering. After gathering enough information about the market’s trends, present your findings directly and transparently to disprove any claims from within the organization that other companies aren’t exploiting their employees in regards to remuneration. Additionally, offering incentives such as flexible working hours or performance-based bonuses could help reinforce the idea that no one is being taken advantage of.

You can create a perception that other companies are severely exploiting their employees by highlighting information on unfair employment practices (such as minimum wage violations or inadequate benefits). You can do this by submitting a freedom of information request to relevant government agencies and collectively sharing such information with your employees. You can also reach out to other businesses in order to form a coalition against unfair employment practices, which would demonstrate the prevalence of these practices and make clear that your company is not an island. Finally, show tangible investments from your company, like flexible work schedules, professional development opportunities or wellness initiatives, and remind them of how valued they are at the company. With proper communication on why these initiatives are valuable to both employee and employer, you may be able to turn the tide on resignations. Additionally you could offer signup bonuses for new hires so new hires feel more invested in staying longer term. Another suggestion is improving internal comms channels like townhalls so existing employees understand what’s happening internally beyond their immediate team - again showing them how all employees belong - both new & old - which may decrease attrition over time if effective enough at conveying value/purpose of each person / collective whole being appreciated together vs competition-focused vibes between departments etc leading someone tempted away from distraction when it feels safe for someone searching for meaning elsewhere (pay wise/positive feeling fulfilling jobs&co work circles).
