Oftentimes employers over look their best source for finding new employees. What is this resource? Their own employees. You may be thinking, what does this have to do with keeping employees? Everything.
The likability factor even has its role in the workplace. As Dr. Robert Cialdini, a noted Social Psychologist from Arizona State University and author of the book Influence: They Pscyhology of Persuasion, states that we like those who like us. This is part of the likability factor. If you allow employees to help you hire your workforce with people they like, they are less likely to move on to another employer. It doesn’t hurt if you provide an incentive to your employee if you hire their referral.
This accomplishes several things:
You get a larger pool of applicant
Employees stay engaged
Employees feel valued
Employees get to make a contribution
Employees are more likely to stay
