# develop employee retention programs — HR Manager

As an HR Manager, 'developing employee retention programs' isn’t about fluffy perks; it's a core business function tied directly to productivity & cost savings. Daily work involves *diagnosing* why people leave – exit interviews are gold, but proactive pulse surveys and analyzing turnover data (by department, manager, tenure) are crucial. You'll then translate those insights into targeted initiatives: maybe it’s revamping the performance review process for fairer feedback, building a mentorship program to address career development gaps, or championing flexible work arrangements based on employee needs identified through engagement surveys. Think beyond salary; focus on creating a genuinely positive employee *experience*.
