Because retaining talent is recognised as being of great importance to the competitiveness and sustainability of organisations, much research effort has been focused on the area. At Exit-Info we believe that it is important for exit interviews to be based on empirical research.

Below is a selection of credible articles and books on staff turnover and retention. In the spirit of "discovery and understanding" (one of our core values) we'd like to share them:
