THE ART OF EMPLOYEE RETENTION

When employees voluntarily resign, it can be a significant blow to an employer. While the resulting problems are obvious, the reasons behind these resignations often seem elusive. Employee retention is a complex issue with endless facets.

Countless theories and hypotheses exist about why employees leave their companies and what can be done to prevent this. Some of these theories may hold water, while others are widely held myths.

  • Not all employees who resign are running away.
  • Some employees quit because of their bosses, but many stay because of them.
  • Employees are not customers of their employers; they are active participants.
  • The employer is not always to blame.
  • You don’t need to create a paradise to retain employees.

This lecture takes a clarifying look at the subject of employee retention. It will become clear that loyalty to a company primarily hinges on interpersonal relationships and the connection to leadership. The lecture provides practical and inspiring insights into how to strengthen these bonds and improve employee retention.
