Chris Ronzio runs Arizona-based software company Trainual that helps small businesses recruit, train, and scale teams, taking a unique approach to the nationwide problem of employee retention.

“Today's hiring teams have to quickly assess candidates and walk them through interviews for a job offer, so it's impossible to be 100% right,” Ronzio said.

Chris believes that this quitting experience gives newcomers an easy way to say they don't like working for the company.

He explained his approach by saying that a recent report from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics showed a record 4,5 million American workers quit in November, continuing an eight-month upward trend. This represented about 3% of the American workforce. Many workers cited the pandemic as an argument, as some want a better job, while others have listed issues related to COVID-19 or childcare. reported by FOX13.

Ronzio introduced a new layoff pay policy in May 2020. Back then, the company offered employees $ 2,5 if they quit in two weeks. But so far not a single employee has quit. The company recently raised its bid to $ 5000.

“We looked at the average salary when we considered changing the amount. As a result, it was decided that if someone earns $ 80000 or $ 100000 a year, then $ 2,5 may not be significant enough, "Ronzio notes.
Chris believes that this rule gives employees a financial incentive and the right to "fire the company."

Also, this approach stimulates the recruiting team - they are responsible for the money of the business and their task is not to make mistakes in choosing an employee.

Those employees who choose to stay do not receive any additional incentives to continue working as a team. Those who give up the $ 5000 are confident that they will earn much more in the long term with the company, according to Ronzio.
