Ultimate Guide to Staff Retention
Winning the Talent War in 2025
The talent crisis is not looming – it’s already here.
In 2025, nearly one in four UK workers will quit their roles. Turnover worldwide is increasing too, particularly in certain sectors. For instance, the Professional Services sector recently reported a turnover rate of 63%.
This is a fundamental problem for employers struggling with severe skill shortages and an increasingly competitive recruitment landscape.
But retention issues are not just an “HR problem.” Behind each resignation sits a complicated web of lost productivity, disrupted client relationships, hiring delays, and rising recruitment costs.
This guide will be your practical playbook for turning the tide, tackling turnover, and boosting engagement. We will explore why retention is your secret weapon for resilience and success in a complicated talent market and give you the strategies you need for sustainable growth.
