Targeting Turnover - by Richard P Finnegan (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

End quiet quitting and improve employee retention through a proven, research-backed framework that empowers both leaders and employees by fostering trust.

Employee turnover has reached crisis levels, impacting businesses in various industries. Drawing from decades of experience and proven results across industries, this book challenges outdated HR practices and offers a groundbreaking, research-backed approach to solving the retention puzzle.

With a focus on building trust between employees and their immediate supervisors, the book provides the following actionable strategies and more to make employee retention an executive-driven priority:

• Discover why trust in immediate supervisors is the top factor in employee retention.
• Implement "stay interviews" and other practical techniques to improve engagement and reduce attrition.
• Understand the real costs of turnover and how reducing it can significantly boost profitability.
• Apply metrics and forecasting to make retention an executive-driven business priority.

Cultures of overwork and lack of training have pushed employee satisfaction to the bottom in many organizations, with nearly 50 percent of American workers leaving their jobs each year and employers spending up to four times their salaries to replace them. But by providing a clear financial case for reducing turnover and practical methods to implement change, this book equips leaders with the tools they need to create a stable, engaged, and high-performing workforce.
