Retaining Your People

Since 2020, businesses have seen recorded numbers in “The Quit Rate”, or the percentage of people who have voluntarily left their jobs. Last year alone, around 47 million Americans vacated their position despite a net 6.4 million employment gain. Managers and organizational leaders need to implement strategies for retaining people.
According to Pew Research, previous employees most often quote low pay, perceived disrespect, childcare issues, inflexible working hours, and low opportunities for advancement as the primary drivers for leaving a position. It has thus become very apparent that in order to retain top talent in today’s resignation-heavy environment, workforce strategy must be adapted to the individual needs of employees.
Throughout this self-paced, 3-hour workshop, participants will learn how to apply tools and techniques that adjust their workforce strategies. The workshop will increase participants’ ability to retain people and their talent, even in this time of record high turnover.
