Although a moderate level of staff turnover can be good for a business, every organisation needs to have a strategy in place to retain the high performers that give it a competitive edge.

The cost of not doing so can be severe, as high employee turnover can be very costly. It lowers internal morale and it could harm an organisation’s external reputation and cost it business.

It’s essential to try to understand more about the reasons why people are resigning. There may be positive reasons such as an attractive new job or a chance to reshape their lifestyle by working on projects outside of mainstream work. However, more likely is that their departure signifies some dissatisfaction with the present job.

This seminar will give you insights into how you can make every employee feel valued and proud of the work that they do.  Start to develop a work culture that encourages diversity and creativity.

From a recent Business Network SW event….

“A great session – thanks. I think that Business Network really does well because of the really friendly, personal and warm atmosphere which is created – I really feel I belong and I think we all welcome new members and guests well.

 One guest commented to me that you had phoned him to make sure that he had directions etc. He said it is the first time that any group had ever done that and he was impressed.  Great stuff”
