With U.S. employers continuing to face record-high talent shortages, workforce thought leader Dick Finnegan releases a provocative new book: Targeting Turnover, available September 2025 from Berrett-Koehler Publishers. This book provides a manager-led, data-driven solution that redefines how organizations tackle retention – from boardroom to branch office. As the originator of Stay Interviews and the known global authority on employee retention, Finnegan flips the script on turnover by delivering this bold but evidence-based call to action, built on research input with an academic partner: “Retention and engagement must be owned by managers, not HR.” In practice as CEO of C-Suite Analytics, Finnegan has worked across all six inhabited continents – banks in Siberia, gold mines in Africa, lecture series in China, and even the CIA – to cut turnover by 30% or more. His previous books have become essential reading for CHROs and frontline leaders alike. Endorsed by SHRM President & CEO Johnny C. Taylor, Jr. "“A must-read for any organization seeking sustainable retention strategies,” Finnegan’s book argues that retaining employees isn’t an HR problem—it’s a leadership accountability problem. An in-demand speaker by business leaders, Dick transforms an audience's perspective on Employee Turnover and Engagement with concrete data, insight and humor, while providing an employee retention and engagement solution that cuts turnover by 30% or more in the first six months. Finnegan holds bachelors and graduate degrees from The Pennsylvania State University and lives in Orlando, Florida.
