How to Gain Executive Buy-in For Retention & Engagement Efforts: A Step-by-Step Guide

But it isn’t an HR problem. It’s a leadership problem.

Many CEOs understand this. But they hesitate to pull the trigger on business-driven solutions that address the real issues. One major reason for the hesitation? It’s difficult to quantify the benefit of retention and engagement efforts.

This Webinar, conducted by Dick Finnegan, author of the best-selling SHRM book of all time, will show you how to do it.

The secret is to gain executive buy-in by speaking the language of the C-suite. That is, the language of money. The session will lay out a four-step process that will help gain buy-in for engagement and retention efforts.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Specifically you will learn how to:

• Calculate the real cost of turnover (hint: it’s staggering)
• Identify the potential ROI for improving engagement and retention
• Implement a “stay interview” process that helps you assess flight risks and formulate plans for retaining top performers.
• Hold managers accountable for the retention levels of their teams
• Establish engagement goals
