\"How<\/p>\n

Companies spend about 5% of their annual budget on the HR department alone with 3 major targets \u2013 reduction in employee attrition, increased employee productivity and rise in candidate offer acceptance rate.<\/p>\n

So how should HR leaders go about it? What is the determining factor that makes good employees stay back, new employees to choose you over others and rise in productivity of exiting employees?<\/p>\n

Should it be about a better work culture or better payouts or both?<\/p>\n

Inspiring startup work culture<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are many things that the growing startup culture has taught us. With open offices, dissolution of cubicles, a flat hierarchy, easily approachable leadership, no constraining dress codes and several more such unconventional measures have shown us that traditional companies need to evolve the way they deal with employees.<\/p>\n

Infact, for HR leaders who once thought that a conservative work culture can be easily be compensated with higher payouts saw their beliefs rather shattered. Employees migrated from large corporations to startups, at the same or less pay but for an open work culture.<\/p>\n
