The target audience for this seminar is HR professionals and any small business owners.  Did you know that 75 percent of the reasons employees leave their jobs could be prevented by employers?  In the first scientific study of its kind, Work Institute analyzed more than 250,000 exit interviews over eight years, and we’ll share our most recent findings to help you prevent turnover in your workplace.  This session reveals the truth about the employee marketplace and separates fact from fiction when it comes to why employees quit – and it’s most often, not about money.  Unique, eye-opening insights from the 2017 Retention Report have been featured in USA Today, Forbes and HRDive.com.

Learning objectives are:

• Understand the top 10 categories of reasons why employees quit and what it takes to address these issues.

• Understand the pros and cons of using benchmark data to guide your retention strategies.
• Get a scientifically proven methodology that consistently reveals the real reasons employees quit and consider current methods of collecting data from departing employees.
