Retaining Winning Talent
Losing a high performer is disruptive
and costly. Research shows that you
will reduce that turnover with
Retaining Winning Talent!
Remaining
Competitive
In today’s aggressive business environment
remaining competitive is “top of mind” for
most executives. To remain competitive,
you have to hire truly talented people
and then you have to keep them. Turnover
is not only costly in terms of replacement
expense; it impacts productivity, and it’s
demoralizing to other team members when
they see good people leaving the organization.
The Cost of Attrition
Most team leaders are unaware of
the total
disruptive and financial nature of the loss
of a valued team member. Hidden costs
and impacts are often overlooked.
For example, a team member doesn’t
normally just up and leave an organization.
A team member actually considers leaving
three to six months before resigning,
and productivity declines because the
individual is no longer a committed team
member. This impacts other team members
and team morale. Also, most team leaders
need to realize the significant leverage that
they have to combat turnover. Retaining
Winning Talent helps team leaders accept
that, in the majority of situations, team
members quit their team leader, not their
organization. Then Retaining Winning
Talent helps that leader take productive
steps to retain team members.
Program Description
Retaining Winning Talent
is an 8-hour workshop that focuses on
one of the most important assets of any
organization – its team leaders and their
impact on retaining key team members.
The program provides skills, tools, and
a research-based approach that helps
team leaders rate the attrition risk of each
team member, surface individual team
members’ retention needs, increase the
level of commitment from each team
member, and, most importantly, develop
and implement a Retention Action Plan
designed to increase retention for the
entire team.
