E5 | What's the Key to Retaining Aviation Talent?

Why a supportive culture is your best retention strategy

 

Attracting the right people is only half the battle – keeping them is the real challenge. In this episode of the Learning and Development in Aviation podcast, Jane Hoskisson and Enda Corneille explore how the aviation industry can retain the talent it has worked so hard to develop.

They discuss the importance of building a supportive, people-focused culture – one that motivates staff to stay, re-engages those who have left, and addresses the looming people-crisis following COVID and the industry’s transformation.
