How many times have you discussed employee turnover in your monthly management meetings? Likely, HR brings the exit interview data. Operations defends their processes. Safety flags the uptick in the incident rate. Finance shows the replacement costs of turnover.
Every person in that room has spent time preparing their piece of the problem. And every one of them is right ... about their piece.
That's what makes the management meeting so frustrating. Nobody is wrong. And yet, nothing gets solved.
Because the meeting is designed to share information across departments. Not to find the one thing those departments have in common. That one thing is never on the agenda. Because it's not a department. It's a person. Running a shift. Right now.
There is a 7-word retention strategy most companies overlook. And it's so simple. The exit interview data will never point you to it. And you won't find it in a management meeting.
