Book description
Experts predict a serious shortage of employees in the United States over the next decade as Baby Boomers begin to retire. If retaining people isn't one of your top priorities, Retention will convince you to make it one immediately. Peter Garber delivers hundreds of low-cost ways to reduce employee turnover and provide a more motivating work environment – one that will make employees look forward to coming to work each day. In nine chapters, the book focuses on two challenges: How to keep employees from going to another organization and keep them interested and focused on their jobs. This book is part of the HR Skills Series designed to help managers plan for and manage changes in such areas as consumer demand, workforce turnover, and production and performance standards.
