Why do employees stay with your organisation?
Many organisations that we talk to face bigger challenges with retention than with recruitment. For organisations like them, the answer to the question above is one of the most valuable that they can find the answer to.
A retention interview is one of several structured discussions with an employee starting early on in their employment cycle. Cohesion conduct these interviews, generating data as to what is working well in their organisation, and what might not be working so well.
Cohesion conduct exit interviews with employees who are leaving or have just left their employer. Using a specialist, third-party interviewer is the best way to ensure that interviewees are comfortable enough to be truly candid with their answers. Full and frank data will allow you to make a positive and lasting impact on your business.
Leave or Stay?
So what do we hear from the thousands of exit and retention calls we conduct year on year? Here are some of the themes that we have shared with our clients allowing them to take action and improve the overall employee experience beyond hire.
Why employees stay with their employers
- “Providing role clarity from the advert throughout the entire recruitment process”
- “Recruitment and pre-employment teams are completely integrated”
- “New members of staff feel very welcome on day one within my organisation”
- “Defined process for managers to engage with new starters”
- “Retention / stay interviews conducted with employees”
Why employees choose to leave their employers
- “Lack of progression and development”
- “Dissatisfaction with salary or benefits”
- “Poor relationship with manager or management”
- “Problematic location or required shift-patterns”

Recruitment & Retention: Revolutionary Practice for the Future Social Care Workforce
Cohesion are an extension of us and really live our values. They never fail to deliver on promise and work hard to deliver a high quality candidate experience and service to us. We have complete faith that with Cohesion’s unique expertise they will continue to help build a strong talent pipeline for our Nursing Service.
Today, we have a healthy recruitment pipeline in most locations, our vacant hours are drastically reduced which has a huge impact on agency costs and quality of care. The average time to offer has reduced considerably and more encouraging is the quality of our new colleagues who are recruited for their ‘values’
I would definitely recommend Cohesion as a recruitment partner. Working with them has taken the pain out of the recruitment process.
Cohesion’s results were very impressive. The effort that Cohesion make to keep candidates engaged and move them efficiently through the recruitment process was key to helping us achieve a high attendance rate at interview and very low drop out post interview. I have been impressed with how responsive they have been to any issues raised and their ability to deliver candidates in a difficult recruitment market
