Staff retention
Story told to me today in a business development meeting.
My prospective client was working for a large City PR firm - middle manager level, clearly a ’safe’ pair of hands. ends up working on 18 clients [yes you have read correctly] and over-stressed, working long hours and getting sick. Asks for assistance. Nothing. Gets told small bonus, cost of living pay rise, no promotion.
Curious what happens next. And two years later they are headed for £1m in business for his new operation. Keeping and retaining talent is something we don’t practice what we preach in this industry.
nuff said.
