We all fear losing our best people, and rightly so. Top performers, especially strong leaders, drive a disproportionate degree of success within organizations.
CNBC reported that over 60% of employees consider leaving their jobs at any given time, and the percentage is significantly higher for Gen Z and Millennials. With continued downsizings and restructurings, fears around job stability are heightened, causing our best people to take that call.
Instead of declaring defeat, complaining about the newer generations to the workforce, or throwing around retention money, let's make a plan!
In this episode, Heather Dolan, SVP of Challenger, Grey, & Christmas, Inc., a leading expert in outplacement and leadership transitions, and I divulge the secrets to retaining your best people using AROSE Group’s “Four Ps to Retention" framework - a strategic approach that examines retention through four critical lenses: Purposeful, Probative, Prerogative, and Proactive. This framework guides you in crafting an effective plan to keep your top talent engaged and committed.

There is no better learning than real practical applications. In this episode, our leadership team at AROSE Group role model in real time giving group feedback.
We know giving feedback makes us uncomfortable in all realms of our lives, and you might be thinking, “Why in the world would I want to participate in group feedback?”
As you will see from our recorded group feedback session, when done right, it is anything but scary and uncomfortable. It is uplifting, supportive, and amplifies performance.
That’s why we call this exercise the Amplifier Effect because we believe that the power of the team is to amplify the impact of each team member, and a group feedback session does this best.

Yes, the bar has been raised at work when it comes to inclusion, belonging, and team performance. Leaders are expected to know how to navigate interpersonal dynamics, build inclusive teams, be authentic, yet not say the wrong thing. And that is a good thing! However, if you are anything like us, you are likely going to make a mistake or two or even worse let fear keep you from trying. So it’s time we choose to get comfortable being uncomfortable together.
In this episode we will unpack what it takes to lead when the stakes and emotions are high. I am joined by two leading experts in our field, Susan Rivers, PhD, who is Co-Founder of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence and the Chief Scientist of iThrive Games, and Justin Scott Campbell, ACC , who is a diversity, equity, and inclusion thought leader, trainer, coach and a professor. This is a conversation about the human dynamics at work that you won’t want to miss.
