You should use this as an opportunity to fill the pool and upgrade your organisation with the best talents. This means that many of the best talents will be looking around for opportunities and possibilities. When the boss is the main reason why many talents leave, the best retention strategy, obviously, is none other than becoming a good boss. By keeping your door open, being a good listener, a good communicator, a good problem-solver, a good mentor and above all a good role model, you can easily motivate, engage and retain your best talents in good or bad times. Even in good times, organisations need to continuously carry out talent development strategies, ranging from attracting to recruiting, developing and retaining in order to keep their people constantly engaged.
