Offboarding Checklist

A talent investment strategy prioritizes spending across the attract-develop-retain spectrum based on where the organization's greatest capability gaps and competitive vulnerabilities exist. An organization with strong employer brand and high offer acceptance rates but high attrition should shift investment toward retention programs. An organization with low attrition but chronic difficulty filling specialized roles should shift toward sourcing capability and employer brand in target talent markets. The most common mistake is maintaining equal investment across all talent dimensions regardless of where the actual organizational vulnerabilities lie, which produces mediocre performance everywhere rather than excellence in the areas that would produce the highest return.
