Employee retention will be the critical issue in the decade ahead as the labor market continues to tighten. (I explained the demographic trigger for this in my article, The Scariest Chart For Business In The Coming Decade: Workers Not Available.)
The best companies think about employee retention long before a new employee starts work. Recruiting for retention is a valuable element of an overall employee turnover strategy. It is easy for a manager to focus entirely on whether a candidate can do the job. Equally important is whether the candidate will want to do the job long enough to make the hire worthwhile.
