Abstract

This article explores how to avoid employee turnover from the perspective of enterprise incentive mechanisms. The article first points out the importance of stabilizing a high-quality workforce (especially core employees) for a company's competitive advantage, and analyzes the serious harm caused by employee turnover (especially core employee turnover) to the company, such as knowledge and experience loss, high replacement costs, and morale blow. Subsequently, an in-depth analysis was conducted on the three key reasons for employee turnover: compensation and benefits factors (lack of fairness, lack of motivation, and inverted old and new), lack of career development planning (career goal progress, ability development, promotion speed, and hindered salary growth), and poor working environment and corporate culture (poor physical environment, negative culture). Finally, the article proposes five strategies to reduce employee turnover: optimizing the work environment, building a positive corporate culture (strengthening value recognition, creating a collaborative atmosphere), providing clear career development plans (customized paths, strengthening training), focusing on work life balance (reasonable task arrangement, flexible work), and strengthening employee communication and care mechanisms (establishing diverse communication channels).
