in this free 45 minute webinar, you'll learn:
-
Why culture, not recruitment, is the key to retaining apprentices and top talent
-
The hidden costs of poor leadership and how it drives churn and underperformance
-
Why Fairness, Inclusion and Respect are now directly linked to contract wins and client trust
-
Practical steps leaders can take immediately to strengthen culture and improve retention
THE COST OF NOT JOINING
REPLACING ONE EMPLOYEE COSTS UP TO 3X THEIR SALARY
But here’s the truth: people don’t usually leave because of pay. They leave because of culture and leadership.
Poor culture drains your talent pipeline, makes it harder to retain apprentices, and damages your reputation with both clients and employees.
This isn’t a “nice-to-have”... it’s a business-critical strategy.
Why this webinar Matters
Support and culture aren’t usually broken by one big mistake.
They’re eroded by small behaviours, blind spots and silence.
The Result?
-
A promising hire leaves within 18 months.
-
A team underperforms because feedback is avoided.
-
An apprentice drops out because no one spots the cracks in support.
-
Churn, lost contracts, and wasted recruitment spend.
-
£30,000+ costs per leaver.
-
Most of it preventable with the right leadership and culture.
