High Employee Turnover? Support – and Retain – Your Employees

By William Seidman

Employee turnover flummoxes good (and not so good) companies. This is an interesting article on the problem, with a number of fixes that might help to retain employees. Healthcare and better scheduling might work to keep some people in a company, but the impact is rarely a sustained one. The primary cause of employee turnover is bad management – a vast area. Unclear expectations, insufficient tools and training, and insufficient support and feedback from the manager are problems that, if you fix them, you fix the problem.
