Despite the generally slow job market, three out of four organizations lost high-performing employees they did not want to lose during the past year, compared to 54% a year ago, according to a survey by Right Management.
“We found that most organizations are finding it tough to hold onto their best people even when there are relatively few job openings,” said Bram Lowsky, Right Management’s group executive vice president for the Americas. “Previous research findings tell us there’s a furious war for top talent under way, constant poaching of high performers by competing companies and, overall, a very restive workforce. The latest survey shows organizations losing the employees they need, erosion that may accelerate once the job market picks up.”
