This week's Working Week focuses on the issue of staff retention as Wayne talks to leadership development expert, Kevin Eikenberry.

Kevin is the author of Remarkable Leadership and Chief Potential Officer of The Kevin Eikenberry Group, a learning consulting company that provides a wide range of services, including training delivery and design, facilitation, performance coaching, organizational consulting, and speaking services.

He tells Wayne that while retention seems to be a problem across the globe, the solution is essentially very simple: measure what motivates people to stay and address those issues.

And as a raft of research has shown, it isn't money that persuades people to stay, it's having quality managers, providing opportunities for accomplishment and recognising individual contributions - two of which don't cost organisations anything.

The intro music to the Working Week is "The Warrior" by The EMP Project, used with permission of Blue Canoe Records.
