A key principle in Retaining top talent and new hires that companies miss… Employee turnover is an expensive problem. But retaining your best people or your new starters boils down to one core principle - alignment. Here are 4 simple steps our clients used to achieve an 85% retention rate last year: 1️⃣ Role Clarity: Use in-depth data-driven role profiling to get hiring managers & Talent Teams on the same page about responsibilities and success metrics for each role. 2️⃣ Data-Driven Hiring: Brain profiling from candidates. Look beyond experience or titles, and compare their behavioural traits to the role's needs to find the ideal fit. 3️⃣ Get Buy-In: Align the Talent team and hiring managers on profiling insights. Buy-in leads to better interviewing and onboarding experiences. 4️⃣ Personalised Support: After hiring, compare the new employee's profile to their manager's. This approach leads to higher job satisfaction because you hire the right people for the right roles from the start. Remember that your roles and culture or team are unique, you aren’t looking for everyone. When you have alignment things work: ✅ Retention goes up. ✅ Turnover goes down. ✅ Reduced hiring costs & agency spend. ✅ Talent Teams can focus on the fun stuff and not fight early exit fires. Here’s a video example for you of how we've helped our clients achieve the above.
