With more and more people quitting, leaders need to find new ways to keep employees on board. One under-recognised way to encourage retention is to support employees in pursuing their passions outside of work. First and foremost, that means giving them the flexibility to define their work hours and clear permission to do so. You might even give employees dedicated time off, like sabbaticals, to further explore their outside interests. Then lead by example. Share your passions and explain how they re-energise you to do your best. Encourage employees to share their interests with each other as well. You might set up weekly or monthly meetings with the expressed purpose of talking about projects, growth, and learning outside of work, so that colleagues can get a glimpse into each other’s full lives.
