SLIDE SCRIPT:

After you spent a lot of time and resources attracting and hiring one
person and company invests a lot of money training the person to the
experience level, it’s a big loss if talented people leave your team. In
current job market in US, the attrition rate in IT industry is about 19%
and Microsoft tried to be at 10.6%. There must be something
special/good that Microsoft does, right? In this slide, we will talk about
tips to keep talented people, collected from a lot of experienced
Microsoft managers.

I have to admit that no matter how good or much you do to keep
people, some people will not stay. This is a fact in all industries. But if
you do something good, it will make turn over rate lower. Some of the
good things that help Microsoft to keep talented people are:

Training – boot comp, security training, mentor, MSTE, offiste.

Reward top performers and warn poor performers

monetary: bonus, stock, promotion
gift certificate, meeting with senior executive, group wide
