Increasing pay is short-term solution Preston says organisations can encourage people to stay through increased salaries and other incentives but warns that these tend to be short-term solutions , as they don ’ t build long-term loyalty : “ A far better approach is to address the drivers of churn . These are increased workload and limited career opportunities . Recruitment is an issue , so it ’ s unlikely organisations will be able to bring in a load of new people , but they can equip existing employees to deal better with the challenges of their roles through training . This also helps demonstrate the organisation cares about its people , and their long-term career progression .”
