BADGE Blog

BADGE prides itself on staff retention – and our Sunshine Coast office sets the bar highest across our national operations, recording an 87% retention rate for the 12 months to February 2020. That monthly-rolling annual figure has also reached 90% five times since 2018. Andrew Lanskey, our Manager Sunshine Coast, shares his top five ‘must-haves’ for staff retention from his six years in the role.
