Event Overview
You structured the bonus. You hit the retention number. And six months later, your best people are gone anyway.
That's what happens when retention design stops at cash.
This session gets into the non-cash side of retention — the commitments around role, autonomy, recognition, and purpose that determine whether someone stays engaged or just stays on payroll. We'll work through a practical framework for matching these levers to what's actually driving flight risk, so you leave with a way to decide what to use and when.
