When Retention Is the Wrong Answer

Bondwaver Analytics exposed an integration failure early, enabling the company to avoid unnecessary retention costs and organisational friction by letting the mis-hire go.

0€ Spent on Unnecessary Retention

A medium-sized company poached a mid-level manager from a competitor. After four months, he seemed to be planning to leave.

The management initially considered increasing his compensation, confident in their choice.

However, a recent analysis revealed that the manager had struggled to integrate into the organisation and establish the expected work and professional relationships.

Accepting his resignation prevented a significant additional cost that the organisation would have found difficult to accept, as employees had sensed the fit issues.

Gains and Avoided Costs:

Unnecessary salary and benefit increases
Postponed failure
Loss of prestige for managers who insisted on a bad decision
Additional meetings to address problems that would have arisen later
