In the current economic environment, retention is one of the foremost concerns of all organisations. Leading organisations are citing retention as a key challenge and central objective; and no organisation can expect to survive if its retention game is not on point. A sound retention strategy results in lower staff turnover rates, which means: Reduced costs to the company, higher revenues and profitability, more productive staff and increased work morale. Retention is, in fact, a win-win deal for both parties – the employer and the employee. 

Retention Strategies is a complete how-to book to help you implement a sound retention strategy for today’s workplace. This book unpacks:

- The business case for retention strategies and the cost implications of high staff turnover.
- The role of rewards and remuneration: Remuneration only accounts for 25% of the stay decision, nevertheless it is a ticket to the retention game – it just has to be fair.
- Retention and engagement: Whilst engagement does not necessarily cause retention, there is some relationship.
- Remuneration options for retention and how each is typically used in organisations. This assumes that we have ticked all the other retention boxes like interesting work and great leadership.
- The Employee Value Proposition (EVP) and its link to retention and remuneration.
- Retention strategies for different generations.
