    If you knew the key to retaining your top talent…

    would you try it?

    Based on his book No Nonsense Retention…Painless Strategies to Retain Your Best People, Jeff provides insight into the thoughts and reasoning of employees who decide or are contemplating leaving their jobs in various organizations.  Through humorous, real-life stories and interactive participation Jeff has created a program that helps organizations discover ways to gain a competitive edge when trying to retain talent to compete in the marketplace.  He gives you an eye opening glimpse into what motivates solid performers to consider leaving their employers and what gets them thinking that “the grass is greener” on the other side of the fence.

    Attendees will hear real life comments that employees will never admit in an exit interview with human resources or tell their boss.  This information will provide unique insight as to why solid performers leave an organization.  The comments will enlighten participants so they can take a critical look at the employee retention process in their organizations both strategically and tactically.  Participants will:                                                               

    • Understand reasons that solid performers leave an organization AND be able to act on those reasons to increase retention.
    • Begin developing a strategic roadmap of activities that can be implemented to drive employee retention.
    • Identify gaps in your strategic retention plan.
    • Learn how to build retention into the key metrics of the organization so retention becomes a competitive advantage.
    • Understand key retention factors that are important to different generations.
