Employee Development & Retention

C-F-S Executive understands that every organisation is searching for a competitive advantage and that a talented and engaged workforce is the heart of any organisation's success. The cost to lose good employees can be staggering.

Recent research at the Saratoga Institute in the USA shows that the average internal cost of turnover for a salaried employee is a minimum of one years' salary package or a maximum of two years' salary package. Add this to the cost to re-employ or use interim employees, along with the loss of knowledge and cost of finding replacement resources and loss of employees emerges as a major organisational expenditure.

Retention strategies, as part of the overall workforce management program, can enable organisations to continue to run leaner, whilst keeping those employees they have identified as core to the business or whose talents can be redeployed. Retention is enhanced through targeted deployment of staff, their informed management, motivation and coaching, and through promotion of a smart culture characterised by mutual understanding.

C-F-S Executive is well versed in developing executive employees to ensure optimum performance, productivity and profitability. We recognise that employees with direction and purpose will provide more effective outcomes and allow management to be results orientated. They are also more likely to stay employed with the company longer.
