Keeping the Good Ones: Effective Retention Strategies
Keeping the Good Ones: Effective Retention Strategies
Product Code: 137

Consider that direct costs of replacing a good employee may reach 50-60% of an employee’s annual salary. Add in indirect costs and it zooms to 90-200%. Further, good employees assure that we effectively meet client needs and successfully meet organizational goals. As leaders, we create work environments that encourage employee retention through good leadership, employee development, motivation, recognition, wage and benefit plans, and compensation plans. This webinar will provide an understanding of why employees stay or leave and actual strategies you can use to retain good employees.
