People stay for complicated reasons: A mortgage. Benefits. Timing. Fear of change. A lack of options.
So don’t confuse tenure with trust.
If people are afraid to disagree, burned out from carrying too much and constantly walking on eggshells, their years of service aren’t proof of a healthy culture.
They’re evidence that people can tolerate a lot.
We at Lambert Nemec Group believe retention should be earned through good leadership, meaningful work and an environment where people can succeed without destroying themselves in the process.
