GUIDE: EMPLOYEE RETENTION STRATEGY 2022
Retention is a core element of growing a successful organization. Experts have dubbed the current state of the workforce “The Great Resignation.” Resignation rates, already high before the COVID-19 pandemic, are now near record levels. In fact, Gartner predicts that the total annual employee turnover is 20% higher than the pre-pandemic annual average both in 2022 and the years to come.
“This is a paradigm-shifting, disrupting moment in the world of work. What are we going to do with it? Everything is open. We just have to choose which door we want to go through.”
— Jennifer Moss, Journalist, Author, and Keynote Speaker on workplace strategy
It’s not just that employees are looking for better pay or a nicer title.
