Human Resource Department Management Report

Employee retention is now a priority at even the highest levels of management. In fact, retention of key workers took the number-one spot (87% of respondents) among the top three business success factors for 2005 in a recent PricewaterhouseCoopers Trendsetter Barometer survey (www. barometer surveys.com). An integral player in retention is HR’s process for exit interviews with the employees—often your most valuable talent—who have slipped through your hands and are moving on to another job.
