Summary

"Improving Employee Retention"

Keeping good employees is probably more difficult today than ever before. Three trends have contributed to this problem: the low unemployment rate, the changing attitudes toward work, and new expectations of work and the workplace.

Strategies that have proven effective in retaining an all star employee lineup include forming cross-functional teams to assess the problem, dealing effectively with "problem" managers who are "driving people out", and developing a system to share risks and rewards with employees.
