"Six Dangerous Retention Mistakes Most Companies Make"

Brighton Area Chamber of Commerce - Brighton, MI *New Location* (218 E. Grand River)

Presented By: Monte Farrar, SPHR

America’s employment analysts are predicting up to 40% turnover after the recession ends and unemployment rates begin to fall.  Many of the younger Gen X’ers and most Millenials reached new lows in morale during their first recession.  Couple this with the pending mass exodus of up to 60 million Boomers’ desire to retire and we have a potential employment tsunami. 

Employers must make a decision to act now and implement proven and effective employee engagement programs to protect their employment of choice status or to react in a post turnover approach with massive quantities of short term fix retention band aids.   The generational imbalance is official.  Gen X’rs and Millenials will dominate the new workforce for the next 20 years and they are very specific on what they desire in an engaged workforce.  Companies who struggle with the Six Dangerous Retention Mistakes promote a culture of “Employee Destruction” vs. Employee Retention. We will thoroughly discuss each of the six most dangerous retention mistakes and guide you through the successful resolution of each to improve your company’s brand as an outstanding employer of choice.
