The workforce crisis is here--and retaining your best employees is no longer optional.
In Targeting Turnover, Dick Finnegan draws on decades of experience and groundbreaking data to reveal a stark truth: the US is running out of workers. As baby boomers retire and birthrates fall, the only sustainable path forward is to keep the good employees you already have. This book offers a proven, research-backed strategy for doing just that--by building trust between employees and their immediate supervisors. Forget one-size-fits-all solutions like pay and perks. The top predictor of retention and engagement is whether employees trust their boss. Yet most first-line leaders have never been trained--or held accountable--for building that trust. Finnegan delivers a call to action: make employee retention an executive-driven priority and equip your leaders to lead differently. You will learn how to do the following:- Use stay interviews and practical tools to reduce turnover
- Hold managers accountable for engagement and retention
- Understand the real costs of attrition--and how to reverse them
- Apply forecasting and metrics to drive leadership behavior
At a time when there are fewer workers and more complex employee needs, Targeting Turnover gives leaders the tools to stabilize teams, improve performance, and face the workforce future with confidence.
