Employee Retention Here Today, Here Tomorrow Transforming Your Workforce from High-Turnover to High-Retention

Successful organizations realize employee retention is integral to sustaining their leadership and growth in the marketplace. Most businesses focus on employee retention when employee turnover starts to increase. However, good organizations make employee retention a core element of their talent management and organizational development strategy. Those that fail to make employee retention a priority are at risk of losing their top talented people to the competition.

Here Today, Here Tomorrow shows people how to create work environments that attract, retain, and motivate their workforce to higher levels of performance. The book outlines the eight elements of a high-retention workplace, provides a detailed, step-by-step retention strategy, and shows you how to implement it.

It also offers dozens of case studies and hundreds of tips and ideas from a wide range of industries and businesses. This information will help you reduce turnover costs, improve retention, and increase job satisfaction.

Two Important Themes Permeate this Book

First, retention matters. A continual effort to replace departing workers—keeping the revolving door full, instead of stopping it altogether—is bleeding businesses dry. It’s expensive to constantly replace people. The cost of attracting, recruiting, hiring, training, and getting new people up to speed is tremendously more costly and more wasteful than most realize.

Second, productivity is directly tied to retention. Companies with high turnover are at risk for low productivity. Studies from the Gallup organization show employees who have an above-average attitude toward their work will generate 38 percent higher customer satisfaction scores, 22 percent higher productivity, and 27 percent higher profits for their companies.

In this book, you’ll read about companies with work environments that attract and retain people—and where people are willing to give their best. These environments aren’t expensive. In fact, they save money. In most cases, they improve retention and productivity without lavish salaries or bonuses. And they certainly lower the expense of continually hiring and training new people.
