Keep the Talent

When a cleared employee walks out the door, it’s rarely just an HR problem. It creates a costly backfill, a delivery risk, and another search through a talent pool that gets smaller with every clearance, polygraph, and onsite requirement.

The reasons cleared employees leave may surprise you. Higher pay is the top reason candidates decline offers. Once people are on your team, though, they’re more likely to leave to gain new skills or change careers (28%) or to find more flexibility (20%).

Sponsored by Amentum, 10 Keep the Talent shows why retention and re-hiring work best as a single strategy. Inside, you’ll discover:

• Why “replace them” is a weak cleared-workforce strategy
• How to turn internal mobility into a retention engine
• Ways to compete on flexibility, even when the mission is onsite
• And more

Zero turnover isn’t realistic. But losing fewer people you could have kept, and keeping the door open for the ones who leave, is well within reach.
