Mark a couple of interviews I’ve conduced recently fit nicely into the discussion of eI interviewed John Sumser at ERE in San Diego last month, and he had an interesting take: basically, that employee retention programs were not worth much, because after five years in the same job, people really need to move on. Your thoughts?

Have you been able to track employee engagement to earnings?
