Course Description

Once organizations identify that they’re experiencing high turnover, how can they start reducing this issue? It can seem daunting to implement changes to address this problem, but there are a few main areas that can greatly affect retention and turnover within your company. Misaligned expectations, poor financial and procedural incentives, and ill-defined career paths and development opportunities are some of the main factors that drive skilled employees to seek better opportunities elsewhere.
