Relighting and Retaining Good People

The competitive edge is never a product or service. It's the brainpower that makes it, the hands that hold it, and the hearts that deliver it.

Innovation, productivity, service and bottom-line profits are the result of people: solid, talented, engaged and committed employees. Even as some sectors of the economy slow down, the reality is that losing valuable, industry-trained people has long-term implications, particularly if your star performers go to the competition!

In this interactive program, you'll learn that star performers aren't always looking for more money, but rather career growth, learning and development, exciting work, meaningful work, making a difference, and the chance to make a contribution on a team. And, of course, a good manager who makes the difference in winning the talent war.

At the end of this session, participants will:

Understand the high cost of talent loss in the 21st Century

Appreciate the significance of retention factors other than pay

Discover the four primary areas that influence retention

Dialogue about at least six retention strategies that will work for any leader anywhere

Leave with concrete "to-dos" and a renewed energy and optimism about the role that leaders at all levels play in the race for talent

This program is based on the research of colleague, Dr. Beverly Kaye, the work of her organization, Career Systems International (CSI), as well as the work Eileen has done for over 20 years with a wide variety of organizations. Beverly is co-author of Love'Em or Lose'Em, a leading expert on employee retention and founder/president of CSI. The program can include appropriate CSI materials, some of them being an in-depth workbook, the book Love'Em or Lose'Em, survey materials, as well as an opportunity for continued training through the staff of CSI. The program is suitable for a keynote to half-day.
