Stephen Taylor explores the commonest causes of staff turnover, and the most effective ways of measuring, costing and predicting it. Armed with such data, employers can then look to improve retention rates through better selection procedures, career structures, management styles or reward packages. All can be effective at the right time and place as illustrated by case studies looking at the crucial challenges of retaining retail workers, new graduates, sales people, call centre staff and IT professionals. Effective retention strategies should not seek just to tie in half a dozen fliers nor to hang on to absolutely everybody but to serve broader business needs. The key principles and processes are all set out here.
