S1: E6 Redefining Retention in the Modern Workplace

Are you a new manager trying to figure out how to keep your best people? Counterintuitively, the key is to give them opportunities to grow beyond your team. In this episode of the Hope @Work podcast, Marcus speaks with Al Dea, Founder of The Edge of Work. They discuss the need to be an advocate and developer of talent, including the encouragement of side hustles and project work that enables them to expand their skills and experiences. Aligning people with work that they find meaningful, motivating them based on their personal preferences and supporting their long-term pursuits will actually help you develop a reputation of someone who cares - giving you the ability to attract new talent while promoting your people.
