How Patrice & Associates Reduces Employee Turnover by Recruiting the Right Candidates

Employee turnover is a growing problem for businesses across industries, leading to high costs, lost productivity, and low morale. According to Franchising.com, the average turnover rate in the U.S. is 25%, but in industries like hospitality and retail, it can be as high as 50%. The financial impact is staggering—replacing an employee can cost up to 100–150% of their annual salary, factoring in recruiting, hiring, and training expenses. Many businesses struggle to hire the right people, leading to high turnover and operational challenges. This is where Patrice & Associates, one of North America’s leading recruiting firms, steps in to make a difference.

One of the main reasons employees leave is poor job fit—when a hire doesn’t align with a company’s culture, values, or long-term vision. Another key point as noted in Franchising.com, employees are more likely to quit due to lack of appreciation, unclear business goals, and ineffective management rather than salary concerns. Hiring the right candidate from the start prevents these issues and boosts retention.

Patrice & Associates goes beyond resume screening. Therefore, their recruiting experts take the time to understand a company’s culture, mission, and long-term goals before presenting candidates. This ensures new hires align with business objectives and team dynamics, increasing job satisfaction and longevity.

Their proprietary behavioral-based interview techniques and extensive database of pre-screened candidates allow them to identify individuals who will thrive in a given role—not just someone who looks good on paper.

Consequently, many hiring mistakes occur when businesses rush the process or set unclear expectations. To address this, Patrice & Associates ensures candidates fully understand the role, culture, and expectations before the interview, leading to better job satisfaction and retention. As a result, this eliminates mismatched expectations, leading to a smoother transition, stronger job satisfaction, and reduced turnover.

Poor management is one of the top reasons employees quit. A lack of leadership skills, poor communication, and weak team-building efforts can lead to dissatisfaction and high attrition rates. Patrice & Associates specializes in placing skilled managers and executives who have the right leadership qualities to retain employees.

By recruiting empathetic, communicative, and motivating leaders, Patrice & Associates helps businesses build a strong foundation for long-term success.

The first 90 days of employment are crucial for retention. Candidates are thoroughly prepared for their onboarding processes, thanks to the careful approach of Patrice & Associates. Furthermore, studies show that employees who receive a strong onboarding experience are 69% more likely to stay with a company for at least three years. By helping candidates leading up to training, and coaching them through their on-boarding experience, Patrice & Associates plays a direct role in reducing early-stage turnover.

Industries like hospitality, retail, and food service experience some of the highest turnover rates. Patrice & Associates specializes in placing high-quality candidates in these industries, helping businesses reduce employee churn, increase stability, and improve guest experiences.
