Retention Beyond Compensation: What Actually Keeps People

Pay gets people in the door. It is rarely the reason they walk out of it.

After two decades leading HR and total rewards work at scale, Njsane has seen compensation get blamed for retention problems that were actually about management quality, growth, and whether people felt like they mattered. This talk goes beyond the pay conversation to the retention levers organizations consistently underinvest in.

Practical and grounded in real organizational data and experience, this session gives leaders a fuller, more accurate picture of what actually keeps their best people, and what to do about it.

Who This Talk Is For

HR and total rewards conferences, engagement and retention-focused leadership programs, and organizations facing turnover they can't fully explain with pay data.
