In this episode, Sheryl Butchin sits down with PoachPrevent founder Steve Jorgensen to explore a shift in how organizations think about retention. Instead of reacting to turnover after it happens, Steve shares how companies can identify early risk signals and intervene before top talent walks out the door.

The conversation dives into the intersection of workforce analytics, employee behavior, and leadership decision-making—unpacking what actually drives attrition beneath the surface. From hidden disengagement patterns to the cost of delayed action, this discussion reframes retention as a proactive, data-informed strategy rather than a reactive HR function.

If you are leading teams, scaling an organization, or trying to protect your highest performers, this episode offers a practical lens on how to stay ahead of talent loss—before it becomes visible.
