In 2022, a staggering 50.6 million U.S. workers made a monumental decision—they walked away from their jobs, accounting for a staggering 70% of total separations. These numbers are unprecedented in the history of the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS), and they raise crucial questions: What are these workers seeking, and how can your organization provide it?
You understand the pivotal importance of retaining your top talent, but it goes beyond the usual suspects of raises and professional development. The real secret lies in helping your leaders connect with their purpose and align it with their daily work.
This isn't just about creating a mission-driven organization; it's about helping each leader find their personal connection to that mission. When you do this, you unlock the commitment, passion, and retention of your star performers.
In our latest article, we unveil the concept of a Leadership Legacy and why it's the ultimate retention strategy. Discover how you can assist your employees in uncovering their purpose and linking it to your organization's mission and vision.
Money Isn't Enough: The Limits of Traditional Retention Strategies Many organizations believe that retaining top performers boils down to monetary compensation and benefits. But despite high salaries and perks, top talent often leaves feeling tired and unfulfilled.
Why? Because they lack the internal motivation that comes from knowing they're working with a sense of personal purpose aligned with the organization's mission.
According to McKinsey, "70% of employees said that their sense of purpose is defined by their work." As a leader, you play a pivotal role in helping employees discover and live their purpose.
