A fantastic work culture is vital to company growth and productivity—and employee retention secures that success. In today’s hyper evolving business environment, developing and maintaining dedicated leadership that can build an inspired work culture and attract and retain top talent are dominant priorities among business leaders worldwide.

Allison Massari’s riveting and timely employee retention keynote transforms company culture by elevating self-leadership, cultivating empathy and radical appreciation for others—and reconnecting audiences to a sense of passion and fulfillment in their work. Hiring Allison is a signal to your leaders and teams that you celebrate your people, and that you are investing in and genuinely caring for each of them personally and professionally.

The storm of issues that employee attrition generates means that retaining valuable, talented workers is a “business imperative for leaders at all levels.” The cost of losing employees includes:

• Financial loss—it costs businesses an additional 50%-200% of 1 years salary to replace one employee

• Deteriorating company culture—morale is severely impacted by employee departures

• Disrupted productivity and efficiency 

• Persistent turnover—1 out of 3 new employees will quit their jobs in the first year (most within the first 6 months)

A recent global survey by management consultancy company, McKinsey, found the main reasons that employees leave their jobs are:

• Uncaring and uninspiring leaders – 34% 

• Lack of meaningful work – 31% 

• A lack of career development opportunities and room for career growth – 41% 

• Inadequate total compensation – 36% 

Additionally, one third of workers were considering changing companies due to their mental health and well-being.

Since company culture and leadership play such an obvious and definitive role in employee burnout and turnover, finding ways to value, inspire, and unite your workforce has never been more important.

Meet Allison

As a celebrated employee retention keynote speaker, Allison Massari has an exceptional ability to seek, see, and enthusiastically express her appreciation for people and communicate what it means to lead with empathy. Her riveting program offers real and immediate solutions to everyday challenges, and supports people in feeling their own sense of purpose, value, and impact in their job. Her story reminds audiences of the importance of bringing kindness to their day-to-day, and moment-by-moment work and life. Whether you bring her to speak to your leaders or your entire internal workforce, Allison’s heartfelt wisdom elevates audiences to a new vision, strengthening employee retention.

A fiery voice for the potent power of courage, kindness, and indestructible perseverance, Allison was recently named on the 2022 “Top 100 Iconic Business Speakers” List and has been featured on multiple media outlets including ABC News, FOX, and NBC. Her resonant, timely, and global message of hope and resilience has been enthusiastically received by audiences worldwide, with esteemed speaking engagements at TEDxZaragoza in Spain, speaking on “The Future of Happiness” and on the main platform at the Million Dollar Round Table Conference with an audience of 8,600 from 75 countries.

Through storytelling, Allison takes her audience on a journey full of insight, allowing people to fully understand the steps she took after suffering two traumatic and nearly fatal car accidents, one where she endured severe burns on over 50% of her body. Her incredible history, and the courage, strength and inner drive that it took for her to rise above extreme hardship, has given her the authority, compassion, and wisdom to speak to the problems that cause employee burnout, attrition, and fatigue. Allison’s instinctive passion for seeing the unique gifts in others and calling them out is contagious for the audience. Her program re-directs focus towards promoting a sense of care, feeling connected, seen, and valued, and making an impact in the world—qualities that support employee retention.

In Allison’s words: “When we learn to support our people verbally with encouragement, and also provide them with resources, thoughtful policy, tools and technology that work, and the autonomy to do their job—meaning, the flexibility to do what is right and to do their job without obstruction—it creates a work environment where people want to stay. The result is work that is fulfilling, inclusive, and productive.”

The backdrop of Allison’s breathtaking keynote displays images of her stirring and stunning artwork that are in the permanent collection of the Vatican and the Museum of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg, Florida.
