Suggested Retention Tools for curbing attrition to a great extent are submitted herewith. These need not be brainstormed and implementation strategy should be worked out immediately.

- Use of Industry Surveys and other data tools to stay informed on wage trends.
- To benefit both company and employees, tie increased one time performance pay to meeting specific goals aligned with business objectives.
- Collect data from exit interviews to document trends from your departing employees, and then use this data to make a business case for increasing salaries across the board.
