Workshop Description
High employee turnover imposes a significant financial and performance burden on all organizations. In addition to the direct costs of recruiting, onboarding and training, turnover reduces the productivity of the workers who remains, as they are required to perform the duties of the employees who leave. The combination of low unemployment and a shrinking pool of working-age candidates means the problem of turnover will only get worse . The ability of companies to improve the retention of trained, productive workers is a critical success factor. This 4-hour workshop examines the impact and causes of turnover and explores proven management techniques which increase employee engagement and reduce turnover.
