Findings by Muse
The Value of Retention
One of the most important predictors of whether an employee will stay with his/her current employer is the employee’s satisfaction with the opportunities provided for learning and development.
• More hours of formal learning = greater retention.
• A firm’s ability to retain its key employees is, in turn, a fundamental determinant of a number of important outcomes, such as customer satisfaction, sales per employee, and market capitalization.
•These findings are fitting with outcomes experienced while implementing Tarragon’s employee retention initiatives.
