An Organization's Number One Asset
An Article by Dinah Bailey, HR ByDESIGN

The continued progress of an organization depends greatly on the effectiveness with which it develops its greatest asset – its’ employees.

One of the greatest challenges organizations face is retaining employees. The cost to replace one employee may be up to 50% of that departing person’s salary. Employees must feel valued and appreciated. They leave organizations for lack of career growth, low morale, management issues, poor training and little or no recognition of their accomplishments.

Retention strategies allow organizations to retain valuable employees and can be used as a means to transform an organization’s culture to a more desirable place to work.
