RETAIN. SUSTAIN. THRIVE. At IDN, our message is clear: prioritising inclusion and diversity is key to retaining staff, building a sustainable workforce, and a better environment where everyone can thrive. A strong EDI strategy isn’t just good practice—it’s a win-win-win. Why is it important to focus on retention in your company? - Talent Loss: High turnover, particularly among non-white employees, leads to the loss of diverse, highly skilled staff, which can stifle innovation and growth. - Significant Financial Costs: Replacing an employee costs an average of £30,614. This includes expenses for advertising, onboarding, and training new hires. - Resource Drain: Frequent rehiring and retraining due to high turnover quickly escalate costs, draining company resources and hindering productivity. - Retention Prioritisation: By focusing on retention, you not only safeguard valuable talent but also save your company from ongoing expenses and operational disruptions. #Day30 #IDN #30DaysOfIDN

🎤This year's IDN24 conference delivered some truly insightful moments. One standout quote was: 'Culture change, any culture change, is a long and tortuous journey. You need to recognise that and have the stamina and the will power to get there. Don't pretend this is gonna be a one shot and fixed and fine immediately. You've got to have that perseverance. You've got to be really willing to go on the journey and drive it forward throughout the organisation.' - Leigh Wakefield. IDN25 conference planning is underway and we are SO excited for it already! #Day25 #IDN #30DaysOfIDN
