Employee Retention
What You Can Do to Improve It

Tuesday, June 13, 2006

Guest Speaker:  Diane Lustender

Want to know what makes employees keep coming to work every day and loving it? This program will present highlights from recent research on employee motivation and retention including both what builds retention and what starts the “I’ve got to get out of here” thought process. We’ll compare recent research and trends to some of the traditional employee motivation theories and have an opportunity to share successful practices from attendees. We’ll discuss ways to improve retention, including multi-cultural/multi-generational employees’ perspectives; the effectiveness of “employer of choice” campaigns; and low-cost/high-reward short-term and long-term strategies to build employee engagement.
