It is an unprecedented time that has been called the Great Resignation. Over 15 million employees have left their employers in the last 9 months. Over 4.5 million in just August alone. Why? To find greener pastures where they feel engaged and valued. This loss of talent cost employers over 200% of the employee's annual salary.
In this very special IMS program international speaker and best-selling author Dr. Beverly Kaye will provide people managers with insights to engage and retain their key employees and avoid costly talent loss. Based on her 5 best-selling books she will discuss how career conversations, stay interviews and a positive work culture will help stop employees from going to your competitors.
Dr. Beverly Kaye is recognized internationally as a professional dedicated to helping individuals, managers and organizations understand the practical "how-to" principles of employee development, engagement, and retention. Her books and learning materials have stood the test of time. Her groundbreaking career development, engagement, and mentoring programs have been implemented by such leading corporations as American Express, DaimlerChrysler, Hartford Life, Macy's, Marriott International, Microsoft, Sprint, Starbucks, and Xerox.
Bev has spent years researching corporate strategies for developing, engaging, and retaining knowledge workers. Her book, Love 'Em or Lose 'Em: Getting Good People to Stay, (Berrett-Koehler, 3d Ed. 2005) co-authored with Sharon Jordan-Evans, has sold nearly a half-million copies in 20 languages and has reached Wall Street Journal and Amazon bestseller status. Learning Journeys (Davies-Black, 2001), edited by Dr. Kaye, is a collection of essays from top management experts. Love It, Don't Leave It: 26 Ways to Get What You Want at Work (Berrett-Koehler, 2003), also a WSJ bestseller, is designed to put job satisfaction in the hands of the employee. In the early '80s, Dr. Kaye first published her now-classic book, Up is NOT the Only Way (revised, Davies-Black, 1997), which foresaw the effects of leaner and flatter organizations on individual careers.
