The challenge

Traditional compensation is no longer attracting and retaining talent

Today’s business environments – with rapidly changing employee behavior, unprecedented resignations and evolving socio-economic conditions – have rendered traditional recruiting and retention methods ineffective.

Many companies are competing for the same pool of candidates, leading to increased competition and difficulty securing workers.

It’s time for an innovative approach to recruiting, engagement, and retention.

High Turnover

Employee turnover creates division within a company whereas a positive culture with happy employees can create a flywheel effect that keeps teams together. 

Upon exit, 52% percent of employees say that their manager or company could have done something to prevent them from leaving their job.

Low Engagement

Job satisfaction and feeling valued is crucial to both attracting and retaining the right talent while reducing turnover – and the lack of productivity and costs associated with it.

Low-engagement teams experience turnover rates up to 43% higher than highly engaged teams.

Competition

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the retail trade sector had the second-highest job opening rate among all industries in April 2021, indicating the challenge in filling retail positions.

And 69% of retail employers reported difficulty filling their open positions due to talent shortages (ManpowerGroup).

Traditional retention-based compensation creates administrative headaches and unnecessary expense

Collections

Clawbacks are expensive to enforce and many end up unenforceable.
