This is a super interesting post. Any idea why employee retention is such an issue with KPMG?
Employee retention is not only an issue with KPMG, but also with most of the IT companies in India. The reasons being competitors pay better or due to lack of projects or may be because of manager-employee poor relationships or unrealistic goals and deadlines. Thank you Rosalie for your concern.
