STORY TELLING CANVAS
• In the past <we used to do things
like this around here>
• And we liked it because <it had
this effect on our culture, morale,
and customer experience>
• But then one day <something
happened that changed the way
we do things>
• And because of that <it had a
positive or negative impact on
us>
• So we want to <make this
change>

Specific Measureable Achievable Relevant Time Bound
Reduce the number of
permanent skilled talent
leaving the organisation
by:
- Improving their working
environment
- Providing the
conditions for
empowerment
- Enabling leadership to
improve engagement.
- Improving talent
attraction
- Improve development
and retention
processes
Our current employee
turnover is 18.5%. Over
the next 18 months we
want to reduce this to
12.5% where the
calculation is based on the
following formula:
Total number of leavers /
average employees for the
period of the preceding 12
months * 100%.
This is based on voluntary
terminations and excludes
contract renewals
The trends have indicated
that our employee turnover
has been improving
steadily over the last 12
months.
Based on industry
benchmarks for
organisations in the same
industry and size, 12.5% is
the recommended
number. Our actions will
focus on the reasons for
exit to allow for the
reduction over the next 18
months
By reducing turnover of
our exceptional talent, we
will be able to attract and
retain the talent required to
deliver on the
organisation's strategic
goals.
We need to build the end-
to-end employee
experience to ensure that
our organisation remains
an employer of choice in
an environment where the
right skills are hard to
come by
We aim to reduce
employee turnover by 2%
within the next 6 months
for the next 18 months.
- Month 6: 16.5%
- Month 12: 14.5%
- Month 18: 12.5%
A monthly report back
session will provide us
with an opportunity to
reflect on progress more
frequently.
SMART Goal: In 18 months time, we want to reduce our employee turnover from 18.5% to 12.5% with an average of 2% improvement over three 6 month
periods by implementing actions in improving our Employee value proposition

stakeholders for feedback (instead of

interviewees on effectiveness of
posting
