Trained Managers Improve Employee Engagement

The adage, “people leave managers, not companies” is accurate. A good manager creates stronger engagement, delivers higher performance for their organization, and improves employee retention. To grow as a manager, there are a variety of opportunities, such as courses, certifications, and degrees in retail management.

Did you know the average company in the U.S. spends nearly $40,000 to hire a new employee and takes up to 52 days to fill a position? Those are just the tangible costs. What about the stress felt by your understaffed team or the impact on your customers? Making it a priority to improve retention can yield large benefits to your organization, customers, and employees.
