Promote From Within

3. Create career paths for employees. Your people need opportunities to grow.

4. Consider the work that you outsource. Can that work be brought in house, creating an advancement opportunity for some of your employees in, say, your contact or distribution center?

5. If an employee needs outside training in order to be successful at a higher-level position within your company, pay for the training. In the end, those training costs will be less than if you had to recruit a new employee.
