Why Retention & Engagement Matter More Than Ever

The Hidden Cost Crisis

Professional services firms are bleeding talent – and money.

The numbers don’t lie:

  • Replacing one senior associate costs 150–200% of their salary

  • Disengaged employees cost 18% of their annual pay in lost productivity

  • High attrition damages client relationships, delays projects, and burns out remaining teams

But here’s the problem: most firms don’t know the real cost. They see the recruitment bills. They feel the pressure. But they don’t have the data to act.

The Commercial Impact

When top talent leaves:

  • Client relationships suffer - continuity breaks, trust erodes

  • Institutional knowledge walks out the door – processes, relationships, expertise

  • Remaining teams burn out – workload increases, morale drops, more people leave

It’s a vicious cycle. And it’s expensive.

You can’t fix what you can’t measure. That’s why we built the Retention & Engagement Fix.

It gives you:

  • The real cost – quantified financial impact of attrition and disengagement

  • The root causes – data-driven analysis of where your employee experience is breaking down

  • The fix – prioritised action roadmap with ROI projections

No guesswork. No vague culture initiatives.

Just clarity, speed, and commercial impact.

 FAQs

  • You can try - but HR is stretched thin, lacks independence, and employees often won't be fully honest with them. External expertise brings objectivity, speed, and psychological safety.

  • The opposite. Employees are more honest with us because we're independent, confidential, and not tied to internal politics or performance reviews.

  • We specialise in professional services, financial services, media, and tech. We've worked inside organisations like yours and understand the unique pressures and culture.

  • Good. That means we've uncovered the truth. Our job is to show you reality, not tell you what you want to hear. Sustainable change starts with honesty.

  • No. We prioritise quick wins and strategic initiatives. You control the pace and what gets implemented. The roadmap is yours to own.

  • You own the roadmap and implement it internally. We're available for ad-hoc support if needed, but there's no ongoing retainer or dependency.
