RETAINING LOYAL, HIGH-PERFORMING EMPLOYEES IS A CHALLENGE. How do you learn what works in your organization for your employees? Most organizations struggle to identify the best retention tools -- and even struggle with how to identify those tools and how many to use.

Retaining Your Best Employees serves as a casebook documenting how nine companies identified, implemented, and measured their retention efforts. The wide variety of ideas, systems, processes, and models will help you identify and measure your own best tools. Tools and systems covered include recognition, innovative training practices, selection testing, and corporate culture.

Co-published by SHRM and ASTD.
