Your Best Worker Is Already Halfway Out the Door with Darcy Eikenberg │ Employee Retention │ Ep. 187

from Manufacturing Greatness | Productivity | Retention | Profits | Continuous Improvement | Safety | Workforce Development | Labor Challenges | Skills Gaps | Industry 4.0 · host Trevor Blondeel

Your best people rarely quit in a dramatic moment. They leave a little at a time, and by the time they give notice the decision was made weeks ago. Gallup ties about 75% of voluntary turnover to the manager, and our own national research found that 35% of workers open to manufacturing have never had a single one-on-one development conversation with their manager. You can't keep people you never really talk to. Darcy Eikenberg, executive coach and author of Red Cape Rescue: Save Your Career Without Leaving Your Job, joins Trevor to turn the retention problem around: instead of replacing the people who leave, how do you help a good employee rescue the job they already have? A practical look at employee retention and manufacturing team leadership for plant managers, operations leaders, and frontline supervisors tired of watching good people walk out the door. 🎁 Free: 10 great questions to ask your leadership and drive engagement → manufacturinggreatness.com/subscribe and get bonus content in our newsletter!
