In this episode, with Robert Schout, MA/MSW, the visionary Founder and President of PowerSkills International, we address the topic of employee retention. A recent Nectar survey on employee recognition, reported that 71% of employees would be less likely to leave their organization if they were recognized more frequently. Since 1998, PowerSkills has been a beacon of transformation, offering onsite and online seminars, executive advising, coaching, and organizational consulting to a diverse array of clients, including municipal, state, and federal agencies, corporations, nonprofits, and international organizations. Robert will discuss how PowerSkills helps individuals and organizations tap into their innate potential and develop the crucial PowerSkills needed to retain the best people, lead and excel in both work and life.
