The Retention Roadmap

Abstract

The proposed chapter includes multiple aspects of employee retention based on the core concept of employee satisfaction. Research has consistently shown that employee satisfaction and the perception of company commitment to employees is paramount in the decision to remain with an organization. Moreover, the link between company commitment and perception is consistent across generations and various demographic factors. Research consistently shows that empowering employees is positively correlated to employee retention. This chapter provides an extensive, multi-faceted strategic plan for employee retention, focusing on the alignment of core values between the company and the employee. This “Retention Roadmap” is a key element in helping leaders retain their best employees, even when the phenomenon of “job hopping” is at an all-time high. Research-based and full of practical examples, the chapter provides leaders with essential tools to keep the organization running with a core group of satisfied employees.
