Employers who train and <br/>empower their employees are more <br/>likely to keep them around.<br/> Sense of <br/>Belonging.<br/>Friendships in the workplace are imperative to make employees feel like they fit in.<br/>Experts say companies can retain employees better by providing a safe space.<br/>Purpose.<br/>Jobs that feel more purposeful are <br/>more likely to create an emotional <br/>attachment with employees.<br/>People want their work to make a difference, so a job without a purpose can cause them to begin looking for purpose elsewhere")
