How much is employee turnover costing your business?

  • Today, the voluntary turnover rate in the U.S. is 20% and climbing.
  • Every time you lose an employee, the average cost to your business is one year’s salary (plus compensation) for that employee--costs include recruitment/replacement, lost business and productivity.
  • An average business with 50 employees is losing approximately 10 employees a year to voluntary turnover.  If that business’ average salary is $40,000, employee turnover is costing that business $400,000 a year.

Rising Sun Can Help
Rising Sun can help you with:

  • The high cost of replacing employees
  • Reduced output due to a reduction in knowledgeable and trained employees
  • Remaining employees feeling discouraged due to increased work load and/or seeing their friends leaving the company.
CultureCheck™ Assessment:
CultureCheck is a process through which the overall “health” of the organization is established.  Through both quantitative and qualitative methods of questioning based on the 9 levels of the Rising Sun Model, the fundamental challenges and strengths facing the organization will be assessed.
Staff Performance Appraisal System
It is critical within any organization that employees are provided meaningful and ongoing feedback regarding their performance.  Rising Sun offers support in the development of an appraisal system to provide staff with objective and genuine feedback concerning their performance in the organization.  Rising Sun develops appraisal systems that reflect the mission, shared values and goals of the organization so that as staff perform, they are moving the organization in the desired direction.

Executive Coaching
It is not uncommon to find leaders who are experts in their content areas. However, it is more difficult to find leaders who are competent in understanding both people and organizations. Rising Sun’s executive/management coaching services provide a mentoring and advisory platform to help executives advance their leadership skills, as well as improve their management/supervision of key personnel.

Typically, Executive Coaching involves ongoing conversations between an individual leader and one of our senior consultants (either face-to-face or over the phone). These conversations normally focus on such issues as:

  • Personal Job Satisfaction and Engagement
  • Vision and Mission
  • Strategic Thinking
  • Goal Setting
  • Coaching and Supervising Others
  • Program Evaluation

As a result, by focusing on their own professional development, leaders are able to demonstrate a strong commitment to both their own personal and professional growth, as well as the well-being of their employees.

Program Development
Nothing is more important to the success of an organization than the quality or professionalism of its staff.  Establishing an effective, ongoing employee development program that builds knowledge, skills and offers opportunities for challenges and growth helps motivate employees and keep them engaged in the success of the company. Working with company leaders, Rising Sun guides the development of a thorough professional development program directly relevant to the unique needs and goals of the organization.

CultureBuilding™ Program:
CultureBuilding provides a comprehensive approach to organizational development and change which focuses equally on both character and skills (i.e., values/attitude and behavior).  It consists of four specific programs.  These programs can be applied individually or as a complete series.  Each program includes four 2-4 hour sessions with up to 10 participants (typically members of your leadership and/or management team).  These programs are also available as Off-Site Retreats.

  • CultureBuilding™ I focuses on the philosophical orientation or foundation upon which the organization was built.  In this phase, we help our clients to explore: (1) what motivated the founders to create the organization in the first place, (2) what is at the heart of their organization, and (3) what their dreams are for the organization.  Through a series of working sessions, clients will articulate:
         • A set of Guiding Principles for their organization.
         • A set of Shared Values for their organization.
         • A Mission Statement for their organization.
         • A Vision Statement for their organization.
     
  • CultureBuilding™ II focuses on the process of strategic planning for the organization.  It is here that clients determine the overarching structure or design for their organization and how they plan or intend to align their values, assumptions, beliefs, and attitudes with the behavioral norms (behaviors, practices and choices) of their organizational culture.  As a result, clients will produce:
         • A Short-Term (Five-Year) Strategic Plan
         • A Long-Term (Ten-Year) Strategic Plan
     
  • CultureBuilding™ III focuses on the process of actual program development. At this point, Rising Sun Consultants helps clients focus on specific strategies, techniques, policies, procedures and timelines.  They are also asked to think about/determine their needs in terms of staffing, facilities, finances, etc.  As a result, clients will produce specific:
         • 1 Month Action Plan (including goals, objectives, and desired outcome or results).
         • 3 Month Action Plans (including goals, objectives, and desired outcome or results).
         • 6 Month Action Plans (including goals, objectives, and desired outcome or results).
         • 12 Month Action Plans (including goals, objectives, and desired outcome or results).
     
  • CultureBuilding™ IV focuses on the critical components of program evaluation and celebration.  It is at this point that clients are guided through a process of making a commitment to ongoing program evaluation and development.  As a result, clients will not only understand the value of both evaluation and celebration, but they will have developed detailed plans for both:
         • A Priori (Pre-Planned) Program Evaluation(s)
         • Ongoing Community Building and Celebration
