Dr. Miriam Lacey Shares Expertise on How to Retain Talent | LegalZoom

One of the biggest problems for businesses is employee turnover. Recruiting and training new employees can be costly for organizations. Understanding why employees leave helps employers and HR managers to retain their best employees and keep high talent within the organization. Dr. Miriam Lacey provides her expertise with LegalZoom on why employees decide to leave and how organizations and HR managers can retain talent.
