3. FINDINGS TO CONSIDER: Glassdoor research on retaining talent.

A Glassdoor economic research shows that higher employee satisfaction is a crucial driver for retaining talent. The key findings include:

1. Satisfied employees are less likely to apply for work elsewhere. Higher satisfaction decreases the odds that an employee will seek ‘better’ options elsewhere.
2. This trend is similar across all workplace factors. For all workplace factors, employees who rated their employer 2 stars are the most likely to apply elsewhere, while 5-star reviewers are the least likely to apply elsewhere.
3. Application patterns differ by industry. For example, healthcare workers have high job application rates unlike public-sector workers.
