2X Employee Retention? Yes, Please. (PowerUp for a Solution!)

Issue 269 — August 11, 2024

Let’s not overstate. One conference can’t solve all problems. But research backs up the value of providing leadership development like what participants get at Take The Lead’s PowerUp Concert and Conference.

According to Deel Global HR’s 2004 statistics, 94% of employees stay longer in companies that invest in their professional development, and providing a robust program can 2X retention.

While all generations of employees value professional development, Gen Z employees value it 16% more than others.

Replacement of leaders and managers can cost 200% of their salaries and replacing professionals in technical roles can cost 80% of their salaries, according to Gallup.

Conferences such as Take The Lead’s PowerUp Concert and Conference are part of a cost-effective solution. Participants get usable takeaways and helpful connections as well as inspiration.

That’s why we offer special group pricing for companies and other groups that invest in their female leadership.

This is the perfect opportunity to inspire and elevate your team with top-tier speakers, insightful conversations, networking with industry leaders, access to the digital platform for building a supportive community, and celebrating Women’s Equality Day together.

Support your organization’s women leaders by sponsoring their attendance at the Take The Lead PowerUp Concert & Conference in Washington D.C. on August 25–26!

(Yes we start with a concert because groups that have fun together build trust and loyalty. And we’re thrilled that Lynda Carter whose Wonder Woman character has inspired so many girls and women will be there to accept our Leading Woman Award!)

By attending as a group of 5 or 10, your team will benefit from shared experiences, collaborative learning, and strengthened connections, fostering a culture of leadership and growth within your organization. Topics flow from the theme “Together We Lead” for health, wealth, careers, thought leadership, self-presentation, and more.

Takeaways from leading experts will include:

• Confidence building by clarifying your personal brand, in a workshop applicable regardless of industry
• The latest in preventive health practices to stay healthy, vibrant, and high functioning
• Career mentorship by women who share their wide range of experiences
• How to have an impact with thought leadership
• Deepening relationships with coworkers

Groups of 10 will get a reserved table and appreciation in the program.

The Deel report states, “The correlation between a strong learning culture and high retention rates cannot be overstated. Organizations prioritizing learning and development create an environment where employees feel valued and empowered, leading to higher retention and reduced turnover costs.”
