Optimal employee retention and recruitment strategies
The effectiveness of your employee recruitment and retention efforts is key to both workplace culture and organizational performance. But how do you know you’re finding the right talent – and how do you make sure your best employees want to stay? Top Workplaces leaders have cracked the code when it comes to developing optimal employee retention and recruitment strategies.

If you’re wondering how to improve employee retention, it’s important to first understand there’s more to it than perks and benefits. It’s also important to understand why good employees leave. Top Workplaces companies recognize what matters most is that employees want to feel heard, appreciated, and connected. This people-first approach to culture pays dividends:
- The top-tier Top Workplaces report a 42 percent higher retention rate than average organizations
- While almost half – 44 percent – of employees at average organizations say they have looked for a different job in the past month compared to just 14 percent at top-tier Top Workplaces
