These decisions should be fully respected and supported, whatever they may be. But we've failed if we don't initiate career discussions and provide information. Retention rates, whether they are nine or 90 percent, become secondary issues if we haven't expressed this fundamental interest. Let's not wait to be told what career decisions have been made after the fact. Let's think well ahead of the 12 to 18 month date of separation.
Retention is our future.
Let's recognize we can and should be part of the solution. We can make a difference today.
