Using Transformational Leadership To Reduce Employee Turnover

High employee turnover rates have a negative impact on every company. For the most part, employees leave companies because they’re simply unhappy at work. 
Knowing this, HR directors, as well as others in management, are constantly looking for new ways to create a positive employee experience. One way they’re trying to accomplish this is by adopting a management style called transformational leadership.
What Is Transformational Leadership?
Transformational leadership encourages business leaders to motivate their employees by making sure they feel they are playing a part in the future success of the company. This is done by building a strong sense of unity and company culture that offers them a meaningful role in the workplace.
The transformational management style is the opposite of micromanaging. 
The point is to have employees feel like they are trusted to make their own decisions. This allows the work staff to come up with new and innovative ideas to solve old problems. Not only will treating employees this way inspire them to stay with the company, but also encourage them to become transformational leaders themselves.
Retaining a Strong Talent Pool
Business managers have a huge impact on retaining strong employees. If an unhappy worker is meeting colleagues for a drink after work, you can bet he’s talking about management.
A company’s leaders need to really connect with their employees so they don’t feel enticed to work somewhere else. This is especially important now as employees move away from working in the office and choose to work remotely instead.
One way managers can make sure they’re supporting employees is by using assessment tools to monitor how their leadership behaviors are promoting retention. Another method managers are using is to ask employees to describe their experiences and expectations of team leaders. This allows leaders to know where they might be lacking when it comes to leadership behavioral skills. 
Using transformational leadership, instilling it in your company culture is critical to building and retaining a strong talent pool.
