About Retain-ability
Calling employee retention an HR issue doesn’t come near the full picture. It represents nothing less than an organizational crisis. In today’s fast-paced, competitive job market, attracting top talent is just the beginning. The real challenge comes in keeping that top talent engaged, motivated, and committed.
In Retain-ability, the authors deliver a practical, results-driven playbook for leaders struggling to retain Generation Y and Z employees at all levels. These younger generations demand more than a paycheck—they seek purpose, development, and a workplace culture that truly values them. When those needs go unmet, they walk. And the cost? Sky-high turnover rates, lost productivity, and a weakened employer brand.
No single “magic pill” for retention exists, but leaders can access proven, immediately implementable strategies to increase engagement and loyalty. This book illuminates three core strategies that work across all industries, helping leaders transform their workplace into an environment where employees want to stay and grow.
HR or executive leadership can’t claim exclusive rights to an organization’s retention practices. Responsibility to retain great talent belongs to everyone. If you’re tired of losing top talent and ready to build a workforce committed for the long haul, this book can become your essential guide to making it happen.
“Training and development can improve employee retention across all generations; the key is to understand the most important core values of each generation. Having this concept will help guide you to tailor each individual employee's training and development journey within your organization and/or workplace."

"As a leader born on the cusp of Generation Y and with a sixteen-year tenure in my current organization, culture is crucial to my loyalty. Unequivocal support through changing times in my personal life, trust fostered through relationships with my peers and my leaders, and ultimately being trusted to lead others changed my professional life forever.”
Hannah Godfrey, Performance Review Institute, London, England,Vice President, Professional Development
