Retention Is the New Recruiting Jim Stroud

Finding the best employees is always a high priority for any thriving enterprise; a higher imperative however, is keeping the employees you have. Losing key employees can have an adverse impact on productivity, employer branding, overhead and workforce projections. Moreover, it could represent a fortification of your competitors as said employees leave you to work for business rivals. Long story short, when essential personnel leaves your employ, the cost is much more than the departing employee's salary. Fortunately, the adverse affect of exiting employees can be stalled with a few tweaks in your employment practices. This book gathers case studies on effective retention strategies and shares ideas on how to reduce employee turnover and boost employee satisfaction. It is documented with data, insights and a bit of whimsy, in order to spark your imagination and encourage best business practices that can be implemented today.
