As with attracting top talent, organizational congruence is vital to retaining top talent. How many times have you taken a job only to find out that the job wasn’t what the company said it was going to be, and nor was the cultural experience? And, how long did you stay?

In her second video installment Lizz Pellet explores these questions and shows you how to avoid cultural inconsistencies in order to create an employment brand that supports retention of the employees you have worked so hard to attract. Pellet also shares why it’s of utmost importance to have a plan for your people, including year round performance management, ongoing development and succession planning.

Research abounds that makes the link between robust talent management programs focused on employee development and improved engagement, productivity, and higher levels of retention among top performers.
