Not everything that happens in Vegas stays in Vegas! After last year’s performance at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, Chason Hecht, founder and CEO of Retensa, was invited back as keynote speaker of the Adobe CFSummit 2019, held in Washington, D.C on April 9 and 10 Retensa began using Adobe technologies to deploy enterprise-class employee experience software in 2007. Chason will showcase the predictive survey software, TalentPulse and advantages in using Adobe’s architecture to manage clients in over 54 countries and 14 languages. TalentPulse was envisioned over 12 years ago as a powerful cross-platform architecture to be capable of capturing employee feedback across any device, in any place, at any time. While building TalentPulse, Chason asked: Could we create something beautiful, yet practical? Easy to use, yet robust? Scalable, yet secure? Adobe’s application development platform ColdFusion was the clear choice. It provided the reliability, security, and proven performance.

PRESS RELEASE: Brystra accelerates growth in data-driven solutions launching partnership with Retensa Retention Strategies

New York, NY – Brystra, the cutting-edge HR and benefits management authority will partner with Retensa, Employee Retention Strategies and Research leader, to increase database of employee experiences that predict employee turnover. Brystra recognizes that retaining the best employees starts with understanding why people leave. The best tool for that is a good exit interview. Exit interviews are the critical instrument to collect key insights on the termination of an employee experience. However, inferior exit interviews are costly and misleading. If the organization thinks that the responses are accurate, and takes action from bad data, hundreds of employees and millions of dollars can be lost. Brystra chose Retensa’s nearly 20 years of experience as a partner who knows what to ask, how to ask, and when to ask the questions to predict and prevent staff turnover. Retensa’s employee experience and talent analytics software, a cloud-based and mobile suite of talent analytics tools will be available to Brystra clients to accelerate their understanding of why their employees join, stay, and leave. Actionable insights from exit interviews come from the work of dedicated professionals, Organizational Psychologists and Data Analysts. They share the common goal of retaining top talent and are experts at helping organizations identify disengaged employees and eliminate assumptions. A recent survey found that 89% of managers believe employees leave for more money, yet 88% of employees listed reasons other than compensation for leaving1. Retensa’s exit interview software, ExitPro, can help a company reduce turnover by up to 67%. About Brystra Brystra is a leading national employee benefits brokerage specializing in all workforce-related HR matters.

PRESS RELEASE: Brio Benefits launches new data-driven service to reduce turnover epidemic with Retensa Retention Strategies

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE New York, NY – Brio Benefit Consulting, a premier benefits advisory firm and United Benefits Advisors partner firm, launches a partnership with Retensa, the employee retention research leader, to accelerate employee retention strategies in the current talent shortage. Good employees are no longer a commodity. The Department of Labor announced in 2018 that the number of job postings exceeded the number of job seekers for the first time on record. It is now clear that companies across all industries have a reason to worry. With unemployment at 70 year lows, top talent is hard to find and harder to keep. If companies cannot leverage their data to retain their top talent now, they will lose them to the competition – and pay more than ever to replace them. Brio understands that the employer market is always changing and to best address the needs of your organization, employees need the best resources to succeed. Brio’s philosophy is to understand a client’s corporate culture and empower them to make informed decisions through education. Brio developed a unique benefits process to better serve ever-changing employers that are in desperate need of something outside the “traditional broker” model. Brio broke away from this model by planning ahead and proactively servicing clients. Whether it’s controlling costs and mitigating long-term risks; engaging employees with the innovative technology; or wherever executive team’s priorities may fall, Brio and Retensa strongly believe that all groups, regardless of size, have the same fundamental wants and needs. Brio conducts a deep analysis of an organization, determines whether they are meeting certain KPIs, and constructs a custom blueprint. These blueprints are a vital look at what the future of a company looks like; exit Interviews are another. Exit interviews are the best tool to understand why employees leave. However, an inferior one can be costly and misleading. Brio chose Retensa’s 20 years of experience as a partner that knows which questions to ask, to whom, and why to ask the specific questions to pinpoint the root cause of employee turnover. About Brio Benefits Brio was founded on the principle of getting away from the traditional broker model. After years in the insurance industry Brio’s founders realized that the model simply wasn’t working. A reactive process to benefits was leaving too many employees, executives, and HR teams frustrated and unhappy with renewals and benefits year after year. Brio Benefit Consulting, Inc. is a full-service employee benefits consulting firm offering customized solutions for their clients. Brio is committed to delivering solutions that advance the objectives of their clients and their employees. More information by calling 212.803.7160 or at www.briobenefits.com.
