SHRM Webinar: The Hidden DNA of Retention: Personality Insights for Sustainable Performance

In the realm of talent retention, there’s a surprising truth that few consider: the decision to stay or leave is rarely driven by salary alone. Losing a talented employee is not just about an empty position—it represents a loss of knowledge, disruptions in operations, and a prolonged decline in performance. Behind every significant career decision lies a complex interplay of factors: intrinsic motivation, organizational culture, leadership style, and how individuals respond to pressure. 

So, what truly keeps talent engaged? What drives their commitment to stay with an organization for the long term? 

To explore these questions through the lens of behavioral science and workplace motivation, we cordially invite you to join our webinar: The Hidden DNA of Retention: Personality Insights for Sustainable Performance. This event is proudly organized by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) in collaboration with Hogan Assessments and Talent Assessments Vietnam (TAV)
