Intentional Retention - by Sean Barnard (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

National Bestseller!!

The best employees don't stick around just because they like your product, you, or their coworkers. Turnover is the pandemic of today in the world of employment and there don't appear to be too many cures. Leadership is rarely taught and the pressure on untrained managers and owners leads to the pitfalls that come with a revolving door of new faces who don't stick around long enough to earn an annual bonus. Or they do stay, and you sometimes wish they wouldn't?

Sean Barnard instinctively knows how to help leaders at any level get the most out of their team members and can show you innovative ways to increase retention from the first chapter. From a middle-class background in southern England to the C - Suite in Charlotte, North Carolina, Sean tells his story in a way that leaders at all levels can easily relate. His first book is a firsthand look inside every aspect of how to manage people. He understands what it's like to be unmotivated as an hourly employee and what it takes to turn that into a loyal and happy team player who roots for the success of everyone around him, including the company he works for.

Sharing a career that spans living in three countries, leading teams from Europe to the Caribbean and the United States, the reader will hear his story, with blunders, pitfalls to avoid and the huge wins that came along the way. With a genuine commitment to telling his story, readers will walk away knowing how they will be the leader they want to be and the leader their employees deserve."

Guess who doesn't like HR? Pretty much everybody! But anyone who employs people has an endless responsibility to get it right.

Nearly 90 percent of private sector companies in the US have less than fifty employees and cannot afford to have someone completely fluent in HR. As a business leader, how do you stop the constant turnover? Why do the good ones leave? How do you find and hire the right faces and show you care? Who, then, takes care of the vital questions leaders are faced with every day?

With Intentional Retention, Sean Barnard answers these questions and many more. This is how you work smarter and not harder to find and motivate team members, stay legal, and get the most out of your day. This is how you intentionally retain the best of the best.
