As a member of the HRM Strategic Staffing Team with your organization, you have just returned from an HRM National Conference where you attended a breakout session on the importance of developing a Formal Retention Program. After hearing about your learning at the conference, your CHRO has asked you to give a presentation at the upcoming Leadership Meeting designed to convince the team that retention is good for the organization and that they should sponsor a formal retention program.
During the Q&A session of your presentation with the Leadership Team, you receive the following comment from a leader: "During bad economic times, there are many many talented people available in the market. Why should we care about implementing a Retention Program when we can always find a talented replacement quickly?" Please share your expanded thoughts on how you will respond to this leadership comment. Please explain.
