About Employee Retention Strategies: Philosophy and Approach

Linda R. Schwartz, M.Ed., established Employee Retention Strategies in 1998 with a specific vision of helping to create healthy workplaces in which everyone is presented with opportunities for growth, learning and to make contributions to important corporate goals.

Linda’s work helping organizations fully engage, develop and enhance the productivity of their employees is notable because of her leading-edge approaches that address the systems and processes that fuel workforce commitment.

Using a strong research and theoretical base of what truly motivates today’s employees, Linda works with organizations to find the strongest leverage, in large or incremental steps, for greater employee involvement, trust, leadership quality and genuine support of company objectives. Her workshops provide participants with an understanding of theory and research and then provide individual guidance in creating specific strategies for their own workplaces that align with research findings and proven best practices.

Linda formerly published the international Employee Retention Strategies newsletter and continues to present the Employee Retention Working Workshop™, guiding leaders in creating specific, theory-tested tactics to effectively shift employee morale and dedication.

An accomplished coach and mentor to leaders at all organizational levels, Linda uses strengths-based approaches to help managers achieve faster personal and employee growth and to teach managers how to decrease resistance to change among staff groups.

As a facilitator, Linda is a skilled practitioner of the innovative, whole-systems methodologies of Appreciative Inquiry and Open Space Technology. These approaches provide participants with maximum ownership of results to participants and produce faster and more far-reaching change than traditional group-process methods. Participants leave with new confidence in their organization and its capabilities, renewed alignment with its mission and a shared understanding of members’ deep commitment to the enterprise’s values.

Linda has presented seven times at the Arizona Governor’s Conference on Quality on building a culture that supports quality initiatives. She initiated a city-wide event, “Reclaiming Heart, Soul & Spirit at Work,” held in Phoenix in 1999. Other presentations include Arizona State University national Conference on Quality and Management, 1998 with best paper award in category; and the American Society for Quality, Tucson, 1998. Linda has been an active participant and past steering committee member of the Arizona Regional Organization Development Network.

Linda holds a master’s in education in counseling from Northern Arizona University and is a Licensed Professional Counselor by the State of Arizona Board of Behavioral Health Examiners.
