Keep Your People: Strategies for Tackling Turnover

Featuring Guest Speaker Dr. Marcus Fila, Ease Work Stress

Join us as we welcome Dr. Marcus Fila, who will share how to keep good people from leaving your organization. Unwanted turnover is one of the greatest financial and operational losses in organizational life. Every incident of unwanted turnover costs the organization, on average, between 65% and 200% of that individual’s salary to replace them with an equally or more effective person. There are many reasons why good people leave organizations. A small number of these are outside of the control of organizational leaders. However, there is much that leaders can do to reduce incidents of unwanted turnover. 

You will learn to consider the unnecessary stressors and other myriad reasons why good people leave – many of which are commonly overlooked; and to keep your valued employees engaged, committed, and dedicated.
