The myth of the silver bullet

We all want to believe in the power of the silver bullet. We just have to do this one thing and everything will get better. When it comes to employee turnover – there are no silver bullets. My experience is employee turnover solutions are the opposite of a silver bullet. They are a laundry list of policies, plans and actions which result from a well-developed strategy.

“I am just here until something better comes along!!”

These are the words of a hopeless employee who sees no future with his current employer. As the Owner or CEO you will not hear this directly from the employees. Maybe indirectly through an Employee Engagement Survey or through an honest front line supervisor – your main feedback will be through your turnover statistics. There will always be other organizations who will show him a future.
