About This Course

Turnover isn’t just costly—it’s a signal that culture, leadership, or strategy needs attention. This session goes beyond surface-level explanations and explores the root causes of why people leave, backed by HR data, market intelligence, and real behavioral drivers.

You’ll learn how HR can reduce unnecessary churn by aligning pay and roles with market expectations, improving internal career pathways, elevating performance and feedback conversations, and identifying leadership gaps before they turn into resignations.

We’ll translate insights into action with practical tools you can apply immediately—helping you strengthen culture, stabilize teams, and unlock meaningful retention gains.

Credit Information

Is this course eligible for my CPD requirements as a Canadian CPA?

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.

Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
