Understanding what is important to your employees (as well as how satisfied they are) ensures that your interventions are targeted to areas that have the maximum impact on employee commitment and retention.

Rolling samples provide objective evidence that your interventions are having a positive impact and give early notification of emerging issues.

Inclusion of performance data ensures you understand what motivates and retains your top performers.

The Talent Pulse process does not in itself solve the issues, but it does inform you with a high degree of accuracy – you know where to focus your time, effort and investment to retain your talented people. Below are some examples of interventions undertaken to improve retention as a result of Talent Pulse analysis:

• Training & development
• Induction process

• Selection techniques
