How would you structure an employee retention plan, as someone who doesn’t want to work?

Whether or not it makes sense, it would be great to know who to talk to in order to gain some insight as to how a company would realistically have people happy to spend their work day there as opposed to somewhere else. I'm an employee at a company and I don't necessarily like the “culture”. Its a good job with decent pay for everyone, everyone gets along well and its pretty casual but it seems like people are giving notice more and more often. Is the answer simply more money? Or more time off? Is there a consulting firm that I could make an inquiry to to review our company culture and provide feedback? I understand no one wishes to work and would rather not have to, but in reality we all still need to eat. I would like to create a culture here that is the best option…


Whether or not it makes sense, it would be great to know who to talk to in order to gain some insight as to how a company would realistically have people happy to spend their work day there as opposed to somewhere else. I'm an employee at a company and I don't necessarily like the “culture”. Its a good job with decent pay for everyone, everyone gets along well and its pretty casual but it seems like people are giving notice more and more often. Is the answer simply more money? Or more time off? Is there a consulting firm that I could make an inquiry to to review our company culture and provide feedback? I understand no one wishes to work and would rather not have to, but in reality we all still need to eat. I would like to create a culture here that is the best option for people who don't have a choice but to work. Is it a community thing or a leadership thing? Company has about 90 people here and we are in a small town. Half the employees have been here for 30 years, and the other half consist of a revolving door. My concern is that the 30 year employees are retiring. I know what changes I'd make, but since I've been in a leadership role for so long, I think I might be a little biased towards the company and I would like to approach this from a different angle. Its a fact that our people are our most valuable resource and the company has more potential to grow now than it ever has, but it is crucial to elevate the standard for our employees. I've though of this as a type of employee retention plan, because without “them”, I don't have a secure job. Any advice is appreciated.
