“How do I keep great employees without breaking the bank?”

But before we dive into that, let’s break down the most effective, proven strategies for improving employee retention today.
Why Employee Retention Is a Business Imperative
You’ve heard the stats. It can cost up to twice an employee’s salary to replace them—and that doesn’t even account for lost productivity, morale, or the ripple effects across your team.
But what if you could flip that script?
What if you could:
- Increase employee loyalty
- Reduce tax liabilities
- Enhance workplace satisfaction
- Save $600–$1,000 per employee annually
That’s not a dream—it’s the foundation of our approach at Section125Group, and we’ll walk you through it in our webinar on June 11th.
Start with Smarter Benefits: The Power of Section 125 Plans
One of the most underrated staff retention strategies is offering pre-tax benefits through a Section 125 Cafeteria Plan.
Why It Works
These plans allow your employees to:
- Pay for qualified benefits (like health, dental, vision) with pre-tax dollars
- See more money in their paychecks—even without a raise
- Choose the benefits that fit their needs
For employers, it means payroll tax savings and stronger retention—without increasing overhead.
At Section125Group, we customize Section 125 plans to fit your team size, industry, and budget. It’s one of the smartest ways to retain talent while cutting costs—and yes, we’re covering this in-depth in our upcoming webinar.
Make Wellness Real: Offer Supplemental Benefits That Matter
If you’re wondering how to improve employee retention beyond just salary and time off, start by thinking like your employees. What do they worry about? What keeps them up at night?
For many, it’s financial insecurity due to unexpected medical bills or gaps in insurance coverage.
Our Recommendations
Add peace of mind with:
- Hospital Indemnity Insurance – Pays employees directly during hospital stays
- Supplemental Life & Health Insurance – Covers what standard policies don’t
- Accident & Critical Illness Plans – Protect employees and their families
These aren’t just nice-to-haves—they’re a core part of a modern talent retention strategy.
Address Mental Health Head-On
Let’s not sugarcoat it: burnout is real, and it’s one of the biggest drivers of employee turnover.
At Section125Group, we connect employers with affordable telehealth counseling and mental health support so employees can access:
- Therapy and coaching
- Psychiatric services
- Family support services
When employees feel seen and supported—especially when it comes to mental health—they stay.
And yes, we’re unpacking exactly how to add these benefits in our June 11th webinar.
Flexibility Is No Longer Optional
Today’s workforce expects personalization—especially in how they receive and use benefits. The old “one-size-fits-all” model doesn’t cut it anymore.
That’s why our team at Section125Group helps employers:
- Build flexible, mix-and-match benefit packages
- Cater offerings to generational needs (Gen Z wants different things than Gen X!)
- Review and adjust plans regularly based on real employee feedback
This flexibility not only attracts talent—it keeps it.
Recognize, Reward, Repeat
Employees need to feel valued beyond their paycheck. Recognition is one of the most cost-effective suggestions for employee retention.
Easy Ideas That Make a Big Impact
- Shoutouts in team meetings or Slack
- Monthly spot bonuses or gift cards
- Wellness challenges with small incentives
- Personalized “thank you” messages from leadership
When employees feel seen, they feel committed.
Train Your Managers to Be Retention Leaders
Here’s a hard truth: people don’t quit jobs—they quit managers.
That’s why one of the smartest investments you can make is leadership development. Equip your team leads to:
- Offer regular feedback
- Guide career conversations
- Handle conflict with compassion
We’ll even touch on this in our webinar, showing how benefits + leadership = long-term retention success.
Provide Clear Career Growth Opportunities
If your team can’t see a future at your company, they’ll look for one somewhere else.
Think about ways to:
- Promote from within
- Offer learning stipends
- Host internal workshops or mentorship programs
- Create clear job ladders and promotion pathways
Staff retention strategies that include professional growth are the most effective—and we’re breaking this down live on June 11th.
Communicate Benefits Like a Pro
You could offer the best benefits on the planet—but if your employees don’t know what they are or how to use them? They won’t care.
Here’s your cheat code:
- Send simple, story-based benefit emails
- Host short monthly benefit spotlights
- Use real employee examples (with permission) to show real-world impact
We’ll show you exactly how to do this during our webinar—from email scripts to onboarding checklists.
Review, Adjust, and Optimize Regularly
Great retention isn’t a one-and-done deal. You need data. You need feedback. You need a partner who knows how to measure what matters.
That’s where Section125Group comes in. We help you:
- Track benefit usage
- Analyze engagement
- Conduct post-onboarding surveys
- Recommend adjustments that keep employees satisfied and saving you money
