If your organization does nothing about turnover, it will probably get worse. This 60-minute employee retention webinar looks at proactive steps that work better than the usual fixes of raising pay or improving managers' people skills.
It starts with some revealing facts: absenteeism is a leading indicator of turnover, engagement surveys can predict turnover accurately up to a year ahead, exit interviews as commonly used are deeply flawed and often misleading, the last people hired tend to be the first to leave, and how people are treated during recruitment, selection and onboarding shapes whether they stay.
You'll then look at what turnover is, its types, the roles HR and line managers should play, and how to reduce it.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Losing good and top performers is costly, while letting poor performers go can be healthy. This session shows what to do to cut avoidable turnover of the people you want to keep.
It suits HR practitioners and HR managers, operating managers and front-line supervisors who share responsibility for retention.
