According to Gartner, poor data quality drains the average company of about $8.2 million annually.

Today’s Managers Are Busy!
With more pressure and more change in their daily routine than ever before, managers must somehow find time to also engage and retain the vital talent on their current teams.
Talent loss only creates more work.
This session provides a solid, time-sensitive suggestion. Instead of waiting till the exit interview to learn why individuals are leaving, a recommendation is made to create a pattern of stay interviews instead.
A prescription for stay interviews is presented as well as the research based impact of this conversation across cultures.
Talent development professionals will learn the signs and situations that cause individuals to consider looking elsewhere for employment.
They will also learn a specific approach to mining a conversation for no cost and low cost information that managers can apply to retain the critical talent on their teams.
Application on the Job:
- Distinguish the warning signs that suggest that an individual may be considering a change
- Learn the research that suggests that pay is not the key factor in retention
- Practice using several of the questions that comprise the stay interview
- Explore the multiple possible opportunities to fit the stay interview into daily work
Presenter: Dr. Beverly Kaye (LinkedIn profile) is an international besting author and a recognized authority on career issues and on retention and engagement in the workplace. Her first book, Up Is Not The Only Way: A Guide to Developing Workforce Talent
, foresaw the effects that leaner, flatter organizations would have on individual careers and the subsequent need for workers to take charge of their own careers. She also developed learning solutions and systems for managers and employees to work together to help employees achieve their developmental goals. With the fourth edition of a bestseller she coauthored, Love ’em or Lose ’em: Getting Good People to Stay (4th edition)
, Bev addressed one of the most pressing workplace problems of the 21st century: retaining and engaging employees. In her follow-up companion best seller, Love It, Don’t Leave It: 26 Ways to Get What You Want at Work
, she shows employees how they can find greater satisfaction in their current work lives.

How Opower Relies On People Analytics For A Happier, Healthier Workplace
Data powers nearly everything businesses do, from sales and marketing to inventory management and logistics.
Yet, when it comes to people strategies, the words “think” and “feel” are often more likely to inform decisions than correlations and predictive analytics.
At Opower, all of that has changed!
As a company set to transform the utilities industry by providing personalized analytics to consumers, Opower knows that data tells the story that drives decision-making.
So when it comes to the health of the organization, Opower turns to data as the engine that drives its strategy – using dozens of data points to inform decision-making and most effectively attract, retain, and inspire its people.
In this Session , Erin Bakst, (LinkedIn profile) Opower Director of Talent Engagement will reveal how data helps:
- Identify and attract the right people at the right time
- Inspire a culture that celebrates, develops, and engages its people at a best-in-class level
- Diagnose engagement and retention challenges and identify the most important levers to pull to impact organizational health
