To have and to hold: Retaining and utilising skilled people

Andrew Smith, Eddie Oczkowski, Chris Selby Smith

This report examines the ways in which Australian employers retain skilled staff and the ways in which employers enhance their ability to use the skills of their people. The study found that while strategies such as increasing wages and family friendly policies may increase an employee's job satisfaction, the key driver in employee retention is if they feel they are learning and progressing in their careers.
