Recognition is a key strategy in employee retention. Within an organisation, employees want to be recognised for their performance and for their own unique skills.

Employees who feel that their companies acknowledge them for their particular interests and skills are likely to feel more energized and look forward to work. However, employees who feel that their companies did not recognise their individual talents are likely to feel disengaged at work, resulting in them wanting to leave the organisation.

To keep employees feeling empowered, companies have to recognise employees' individual unique skills and ensure that they are tapped while at work. Here are two key points that HR should consider in order to retain these productive employees.

Particularly if the incumbent has family commitments, or perhaps medical conditions to worry about.

This includes provision of annual leave, childcare leave, sick leave or even implementing a flexible work arrangement. However, for companies that have come from a traditional workplace culture where employees are expected to be in office by 9am and not leave until the work is done, shifting towards the modern workplace - whereby flexibility is embraced - can be a major challenge for both employers and employees.

This is a commonly asked question when it comes to year-end or when there is a leaver in a company: "Why there is a CPF top up contribution in this month payroll?".

This could happened if the user was performing manual CPF calculation prior to using our payroll software and the data provided during the data migration stage is incorrect.
