HBR Guide to Retaining Your Best People

Stop your top talent from walking out the door.

Employees today have a sea of options for where and how they work—if they're not getting what they want, they'll move on. And if the threat of having your high performers working for the competition isn't bad enough, departing employees can leave behind serious financial and emotional costs at your company.

The HBR Guide to Retaining Your Best People offers concrete advice and tactics to keep high performers engaged and loyal to your organization. You'll discover how to create the right environment and opportunities, shape professional development in ways your stars value, and build a workplace where they want to excel.

You'll learn how to uncover the real reasons employees quit—and detect those at risk of leaving; discover the elements of work that your people value most; identify the top-notch, high-impact performers in your business; create development opportunities based on personalized career paths; assess your retention programs to see where they fall short; and keep your employees constantly learning and growing.
