Predicting Turnover: How to Keep Your Best From Leaving
Arthur G. Schoeck
President, Data Dome, Inc.

Employees are showing less loyalty and less patience for their employers. In addition to the more aggressive recruiting efforts of other companies, employees now have easy access to information about what positions are available in their industries. Coupled with a fast-approaching drain of skilled workers that is looming on the horizon, what can you do to proactively attract and retain talent? Some companies play a “hit or miss game” to try to retain their most talented workers, but now is the time to gain a real competitive edge with employee loyalty and engagement. In this session, you will learn exactly how to determine who your best people really are, why they would leave, and what you can do about it. Topics include:

• Why your best employees may leave.


• Why current practices like exit interviews and certain reward systems are not working.


• How current workforce trends impact turnover.


• How to uncover the bad news you can’t afford not to know.

Data Dome Inc. was also a featured exhibitor at the conference. Qualified participants at the conference received a valuable behavioral style assessment from Data Dome, so that they could see its accuracy and applicability for themselves. We donated a complimentary Career Planning assessment (with a debriefing session) for the end-of-conference giveaway.

Art, Heidi, Ralph and Amanda enjoyed meeting with HR professionals and other HR resource vendors at the conference. This is the second year of our participation, and we look forward to future HR Star conferences!
