High turnover takes a huge toll on morale and productivity. In fact, employee attrition and disengagement cost large companies $282 million a year. And with 51% of employees actively looking for a new position, a solid retention strategy is critical.

The recognition solution

One of the most powerful elements of any retention strategy is also one of the simplest: meaningful employee appreciation.

53% of employees say they would stay longer if they received more recognition.

Employees who feel appreciated are 5x more likely to stay.

Regular recognition increases employee tenure by 3.5 years.
