Targeting Turnover

Make Managers Accountable, Win the Workforce Crisis

By: Richard P. Finnegan

Narrated by: Tim Fannon

In Targeting Turnover, Dick Finnegan draws on decades of experience and groundbreaking data to reveal a stark truth: the US is running out of workers. As baby boomers retire and birthrates fall, the only sustainable path forward is to keep the good employees you already have.

Forget one-size-fits-all solutions like pay and perks. The top predictor of retention and engagement is whether employees trust their boss. Yet most first-line leaders have never been trained—or held accountable—for building that trust.

Finnegan delivers a call to action: make employee retention an executive-driven priority and equip your leaders to lead differently.

In this book, listeners will learn how to use stay interviews and practical tools to reduce turnover; hold managers accountable for engagement and retention; understand the real costs of attrition—and how to reverse them; and apply forecasting and metrics to drive leadership behavior.

At a time when there are fewer workers and more complex employee needs, Targeting Turnover gives leaders the tools to stabilize teams, improve performance, and face the workforce future with confidence.
