   To Stay or Not to Stay: Small Moves, Big Retention — The Leave 'Em, Love 'Em, Keep 'Em Series, Inspired by the book- Love 'Em or Lose 'Em (6th Ed.) by Beverly Kaye & Sharon Jordan-Evans

   Retention isn’t always about the big things. Sometimes, it’s the small things leaders do or fail to do, that determine whether people stay. This week on Ask HR!, we’re continuing the conversation around employee retention with a new approach inspired by one of my favorite leadership resources, Love ’Em or Lose ’Em by Beverly Kaye and Sharon Jordan-Evans. Over the next few episodes, we’ll use lessons from the book as a supplemental guide to tackle real employee and leader questions about retention, engagement, leadership, and workplace culture. And there’s a new part of the conversation: YOU get to vote. Employee question: Do they Love ’Em or Lose ’Em—stay, engage, and thrive, or start looking for the exit? Leader question: Do you Keep ’Em or Lose ’Em—continue developing the talent and fighting for your people, or quietly lose them? As we move through this retention series, we’ll bring together the questions, quick wins, strategies, and leadership practices to help you identify where your team is strong, where the gaps may be, and what one action you can take next. So, join the conversation, share your own retention strategies, and tell us: Which question are you anticipating? the employee question or the leader question?
