What is a Retention Strategy?

A retention strategy is a plan companies create and use to reduce employee turnover, increase employee retention and enhance employee engagement.

Building a retention strategy helps prevent voluntary turnover as much as possible and saves businesses time and money that will go into rehiring new employees. It is much easier and cheaper to train and develop existing employees than constantly hiring new ones.
