Talent managers need to think about how to keep their star performers engaged right now so that they don't look elsewhere once the economy rebounds.
"Once the economy turns around, disgruntled employees will certainly begin to consider a job change," said Lori Dernavich, a business advisor on workplace performance solutions and founder of Lori Dernavich LLC. "The key to retaining star employees is to keep the lines of communication open with them to gain an understanding of what they're going through and to show them that you acknowledge their hard work. While managers should make sure that these employees are challenged, they should also be cognizant of their work load, particularly if there have been previous layoffs and these employees are doing the jobs of others in addition to their own work."
