Piecing together Retention
How Elkay Manufacturing manufactures the forever employee
Within talent management, one key focus area for HR is talent retention. Elkay Manufacturing CHRO Larry Brand explains how his company manufactures the forever employee.
Forget the War on Talent. Consider the War of Employee Retention.
Employees are willing to leave their jobs and look for new places to work if they don’t feel at home with their current employer. The impact is huge. Not only do companies lose a wealth of knowledge and experience, but the ROI on development drops along with morale. So, what can companies offer employees to keep them in the ranks rather than lose them to a competitor?
Talent Management Talent Retention
Elkay Manufacturing Chief Human Resources Officer Larry Brand detailed his company’s strategy to manufacturing the forever employee.
“From Elkay’s perspective and where we’re going for the next five to ten years is what are the different work groups we’ve got to try to ensure are engaged and productive in our workforce and to me that’s the challenge,” Brand said. The reason for that: each generation has a different value set.
