Duration: 90 minutes
Some companies think that retention is an “HR issue.” After all, HR is responsible for performance management and talent development, so when people leave it must be HR’s fault, right?
Here’s the truth: Retention isn’t HR’s job. It can’t be.
Why?
Because HR isn’t to blame for turnover.
Many organizations and HR professionals already know this. But even those organizations have a difficult time bridging the gap between recognizing the problem and doing something about it.
This webinar will show you exactly what to do about it. In this session, well-respected retention and engagement expert Dick Finnegan will teach you how to place the accountability for retention squarely on the shoulders of direct supervisors. And you’ll learn how to help them forecast and prevent turnover.
The end result? Turnover goes down. Because the RIGHT people who can actually DO something about retention are being held accountable.
