How to retain great staff.
“These are people who are mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters. They have outside lives, they've got outside interests. When we look after the person as a whole, our employees as a whole, we're actually able to retain them because they want to come to work for us since we’re helping to look after them.” - Nadia Bindel, Field Officer for Mates in Construction, She/Her

“When an organisation encourages its employees to bring their whole selves to work, these employees are more efficient, more productive, and more loyal to the organisation” - Rainbow Tick
