282. Why Good Employees Leave and What A...

Traci welcomes Dr. Carrie Graham, PhD, a training strategist specializing in scalable talent development who guides small and mid-sized organizations to achieve measurable results through strategic employee training programs.

Dr. Graham's research reveals that toxic work environments aren't just unpleasant, they produce real, life-altering mental and physical health consequences for the people inside them, particularly for high-achieving women who were promised development opportunities that never materialized.

What We Cover:

• Why retention strategies miss the point and what to focus on instead
• Good people leave bad managers and what makes someone actually unequipped to lead
• The real cost of a toxic environment and Dr. Graham's research findings on health outcomes for employees
• When employees outgrow their role and how social roles shift over time and what that demands of employers
• Why development starts with the individual, not what you think they bring, but everything they haven't told you yet
• The free recruiting tool most companies are ignoring and how former employees become brand advocates
• What job seekers can and should ask and the questions candidates have every right to put on the table
