Retaining Key Employees
 |
It costs you $150,000 to replace a key engineer. If we can retain just one engineer, we've
paid for our coaching a hundred times. |
Of all the things that keep managers awake at night, employee retention should be at the top of the list. When a key employee leaves you, she takes more than her skill: she takes her knowledge of the system and the process; and she leaves a hole in the organization that may be very hard to fill.
Think about it - if three of your key employees walked out the door tomorrow, could your organization recover? What would happen to your critical projects, and to your own career? By comparison, my coaching is a real bargain.
We can help you keep your key employees in several ways:
- For an overstressed, burned out employee who is losing productivity, we can provide coaching to help her manage the stress of software development. We can bring her back to productivity before you have to put her on a performance plan.
- If an abrasive manager is driving employees away, we can offer coaching to help him learn a new, more supportive management style.
- And if employees are leaving because of high job stress, we can help you analyze the organizational culture to determine the sources of the stress, and then plan a program to lower the stress levels and keep the employees happy and productive.
Please contact us to discuss your needs and worries, and how we can help.

"Are you spending too much of your time interviewing and hiring replacements? Coaching can help by reducing turnover - especially among the people you most want to retain. Why is that? ... Being a voluntary and collaborative activity, coaching also builds trust between managers and subordinates. And trust translates into greater loyalty."
