Your best person just left for a ten percent raise. The offer was easy to counter; the reason they were open to leaving wasn't. Somewhere along the way the place stopped feeling like the one they signed up for.
People rarely leave for money alone, and they rarely stay for it either. They stay where the behaviors are consistent and the place runs the way it says it does.
Culture is your retention and recruiting engine.
Comp gets you into the conversation. What keeps your people, and what makes the right candidates choose you, is whether the day-to-day matches the pitch.
CultureWise treats culture like a system, so the experience people feel is the one you actually promised.
In this session, Alex Hill and David Friedman will show you how to make culture the reason people join and the reason they stay, right as you set next year's headcount and comp.
What you'll take away
- Why pay is the reason people take a job, and rarely the reason they stay.
- What actually makes someone choose you over a higher offer.
- How consistent behaviors become the retention engine most companies ignore.
- The culture signals candidates read before they ever accept.
- What to fix before you set next year's headcount and comp.
- How to make "we live our values" true enough that people feel it.
