Nelms	Huddleston

For those that may have doubted the wave of media attention on “the great resignation”, the first seven months of 2021 have seen more U.S. workers voluntarily quit their job than any year since 2001 when the Bureau of Labor Statistics began tracking voluntary departures.  The great resignation is real, and many organizations are reeling from high turnover and inability to attract workers. Work Institute conducts over 30,000 exit interviews annually and reports the aggregate data in their annual Retention Reports. There are important insights to understand about why workers choose to leave their organization, but more importantly it is critical to know what to do about it.

Significant Takeaways:

• Understand the employment market dynamics that have impacted the ability of organizations to attract and retain talent.
• Know the REAL reasons employees leave organizations.
• The impact that managers/supervisors have on employee retention.
• The top three things’ organizations should be doing now to improve employee retention.
  
  

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the top 10 categories of reasons why employees quit and how they have shifted during the COVID era.
• Develop confidence that most reasons for turnover are preventable and organizational leaders must be held accountable for retention.
• Predictive measures indicate that Managers/supervisors significantly influence six categories of voluntary turnover. How managers should be developed differently to retain employees.
• Learn a simple approach to calculate the cost of turnover in your organization and why it is important to track this critical metric.
