If your team deals with turnover, you know how much it hurts the business.

All the money wasted on recruiting new people, onboarding, training. All the damage to morale as people come and go and work overtime to pick up slack. Not to mention the loss of knowledge every time an experienced employee leaves.

What if we used analytics to understand WHY our people get burnt out and quit?

You could keep doing team building events that everyone dreads...

Or you could explore a solution with real science behind it. Give me a call today for a consultation on your situation and learn how these tools might help. 212.390-0010 or email me at [email protected]
