Spark Team at ADP (Originally published on ADP’s blog, “Spark”)

Retention is — and will continue to be — a universal concern for high-performing organizations. That’s why ADP’s Strategic Advisory Services team created a comprehensive retention checklist. Here are the four most important retention checklist questions ADP’s VP of Strategic Advisory Services, Susan Hanold, thinks leaders should ask their organizations.

There’s a reason HR leaders continue to be concerned about retention: It’s nearly impossible to predict how employees will engage with the hiring landscape, whether the economy is up or down. The chaos of ongoing economic volatility, COVID-19 pandemic recovery and a workforce in the process of reshaping, well, everything is pushing organizations to ask some tough questions.

Whether you call it the Great Resignation or the Great Reshuffle, a lot of companies are being asked to reprioritize their top hiring and retention goals,” says Susan Hanold, VP of Strategic Advisory Services at ADP. “Even as post-pandemic layoffs and furloughs return to normal, quit rates are still rising and organizations continue to be short-staffed. In some issues, it is beginning to affect safety and we’re seeing accident rates going up as a result.”

Retention is — and will continue to be — a universal concern for high performing organizations. That’s why ADP’s Strategic Advisory Services team created a comprehensive retention checklist of 25 questions to help organizations improve their retention strategies by narrowing their focus, identifying specific problems, and pinpointing the root cause of high churn.
