Chronic turnover in the same positions is a signal leaders can’t afford to ignore.
In this episode, Hall of Fame keynote speaker Joe Mull, CSP, CPAE, explores why some positions are harder to fill and keep than others, and how leaders can improve employee retention, employee engagement, employee relations, and workplace culture in high-turnover roles.
Joe introduces practical leadership questions that help organizations stand out in their industry and create jobs people actually want to stay in. He discusses ideas like job crafting, ongoing stay conversations, and rethinking quality of life at work, showing how small adjustments to roles and relationships can significantly improve the employee experience.
The conversation also addresses the internal issues that quietly drive people away, including unhealthy dynamics and leadership behaviors that undermine trust, even when pay and benefits seem competitive.
If you want to reduce turnover, strengthen employee relations, and build roles that attract and keep great people, this episode offers grounded insight leaders can apply right away.
