Commerciality: Summary: Reducing Turnover & Strengthening Talent Strategy in its second year, the company experienced unusually high turnover, with an overall rate of 18% and a critical 40% turnover in India, primarily within the first four months of employment. Exit interviews highlighted three key issues: a disconnect between job expectations and actual responsibilities, insufficient training and on-boarding, and employees leaving for higher-paying opportunities. Given the rapid expansion in India—from 50 to 150 employees in a year—addressing retention challenges became a top priority. To improve retention, the company introduced stay interviews within the first two months to proactively address concerns, enhanced training programs by refining content and encouraging in-person leadership visits, and refined recruitment practices to ensure candidates had a clear understanding of job roles. Additionally, interview training was provided to managers to improve hiring accuracy, and a market analysis was conducted to assess and adjust compensation competitiveness. As a result, company-wide turnover dropped from 18% to 9%, while India’s turnover fell from 40% to 14%. These improvements strengthened hiring accuracy, onboarding experiences, and compensation strategies, leading to greater employee satisfaction and long-term organizational stability.
