By: C-Suite Analytics As labor shortages strain industries across the country, employee retention expert and bestselling author Richard Finnegan delivers a high-impact solution in his newest book, Targeting Turnover: Make Managers Accountable, Win the Workforce Crisis, publishing September 9, 2025 from Berrett-Koehler Publishers. Finnegan, widely known as the originator of the Stay Interview and a frequent SHRM keynote speaker, draws from decades of research and experience to confront a critical reality: the U.S. is running out of workers. Birthrates are down, retirements are accelerating, and hiring pipelines alone won't solve the problem. The only sustainable path forward is stopping voluntary turnover – starting with frontline leadership. "Forget perks and Ping-Pong tables," says Finnegan. "The number one reason employees stay or leave is how much they trust their boss. But most organizations still aren't training or holding managers accountable for building that trust." With five previous books and work across six continents, Finnegan has become the leading voice in manager-driven retention strategies. His research-based approach has helped reduce turnover by 30% to 58%, resulting in millions in savings and improved workforce stability. His clients include hospitals, manufacturers, government agencies, and global corporations who credit his approach with measurable culture change and results. Targeting Turnover provides practical, executive-level tools including forecasting models, turnover cost calculators, and accountability structures that shift retention from HR to leadership – where it belongs.
