Task: As labor markets continue to tighten, and the cost of turnover increases, organizations can consider a variety of methods to measure employee engagement and satisfaction, in an effort to retain top employees.

What role, if any, should managers play in ensuring employee satisfaction and retention or is this simply an HR function?
