Study reveals the secret to staff retention

What is the key to staff retention?

Staff retention has always been a human resources concern. The lower your rate of voluntary turnover, the more productive your organisation and the happier your workforce. The cost of recruiting new hires isn’t something to be overlooked. With the war for talent raging on and levels of unemployment at record lows, we need to take a deeper look at why employees choose to stay at their companies rather than jump ship for a competitor.
