Employee Retention Strategic Plan

Your highest performing and tenured manager of a 20-person department unexpectedly submitted their two weeks’ notice. Your next-most tenured employee in the department has only 2 years of experience. Additionally, there is a major hospital chain in your area that seems to have the first pick recruiting the talent you need.

Develop a 3- to 4-page strategic plan (Word Document) that outlines priorities and steps to mitigate the impact of your employees' rapid departure.

The 3- to 4-page strategic plan is separate from the recruitment plan, checklist, and policies/practices.

Propose a recruitment plan to fill the managerial position. (does not include the 3- to 4-page strategic plan)

Develop a pre-boarding checklist and an onboarding plan covering an employee’s first 30, 90, and 180 days with performance metrics. (does not include the 3- to 4-page strategic plan)

Identify policies and practices that could have been put in place to proactively avoid this situation. (does not include the 3- to 4-page strategic plan)
