I am a Retention and Talent Management specialist based in the beautiful town of Stamford in the UK. I design strategies for a wide range of businesses to improve standards and introduce best practice around employee engagement.

I realised that 81% of all organisations in the UK perceive employee turnover as having a negative impact on their effectiveness. Yet so many employers today see hiring the candidate as the end of the process. They fail to recognise the vital importance of retaining their best people, effectively managing both their performance and expectations - and in doing so, they fail to motivate their employees to perform to their true potential, and generate the maximum return from their investment.

I help employers find out exactly what makes their teams tick; what really motivates them (you'll be surprised!); and how they can inspire them to stay with the orgaisation longer, work harder, and still give a glowing testimonial of the employer when the time does come for them to move on.

However the feeling around the table was "well we are doing the same things but our turnover is still high."

Further discussions revealed that whilst HR and Call Centre Managers were adopting the latest tends, they weren't utilising the info… Continue

Thanks a lot for your help ! I actually did have a look on Gallup's 12 Questions, the only worry is that it measures more the enablers of employee engagement than employee engagement itself. I have however grouped the items into themes, and only o...
