Episode 4: Walmart - Know Your People Like You Know Your Business with Kelly Jensen

Are you wondering why employees keep resigning from your company? We all know employees have needs to be met aside from their financial responsibilities. That’s why some of them leave their jobs even with bigger salaries. If your employees are not happy with their career growth and development, they will slowly be disengaged and will most likely resign. That's why it is essential to know your people like you know your business. 

 

In the latest episode of our Ways of Working Podcast, we invited Kelly Jensen, Senior Director of Enterprise Succession and Talent Planning at Walmart, to discuss the measures that Walmart has taken to retain its 3 million employees. Kelly Jensen has been with the company since 2012 and now works hard for the welfare of the 3 million employees of Walmart.

 

Kelly highlights how Walmart has started listening to the career goals of its employees and aligning them with the success of the company. This approach has helped Walmart retain its employees and build a loyal workforce.

 

Kelly also shares her insights on what other organisations can do to learn from Walmart’s success story based on lessons learned through experience. Her expertise in the field makes her an excellent resource for all business owners and HR professionals looking to improve their company’s employee retention rate.
