Today’s job market is fast-paced and competitive—to a cut-throat level, I dare to say. Thus, businesses try hard to keep the best talent inside their organisations.

Why is this crucial? Because a high turnover disrupts operations, as it takes many hours for new staff to learn the ropes. In fact, the financial burden is staggering.

The Centre for American Progress reports that the cost of replacing a mid-range employee (earning $30,000-$50,000 annually) is equivalent to 21% of a yearly salary. For high-level or more specialised roles, that figure may climb to over 200%.

These costs include the direct expenses of recruitment and training, along with indirect losses, such as decreased morale and productivity.

On the causes for leaving a company, LinkedIn Global Talent Trends found that 60% of employees blame career development, regardless of the organisation’s size, while 45% factor in compensation.

Meanwhile, the Society for Human Resource Management’s 2021 Employee Turnover Survey discovered that annual turnover rates across various industries hover around 20%.

Therefore, to avoid falling behind, companies adopt creative strategies to boost workforce satisfaction, which translates into high engagement.

With this in mind, we’ve created this episode to help our listeners explore practical methods for improving employee retention and ensuring their company’s smooth operation.

We have all heard about the phrase reduce, reuse, and recycle. They symbolise the balance we should maintain with our environment—a balance that shields us from the harmful effects of waste.

The three Rs centre around minimising consumption and the use of resources in production. Also, to lower our energy demand and the waste we generate.

But first, let’s compare biodegradable and compostable. Our readers often ask about this.

Biodegradable materials are designed to break down naturally thanks to microorganisms. ‘Over time’ could mean weeks or centuries.

However, not every biodegradable material breaks down effectively in landfills, leaving harmful residues.

Compostable materials, on the other hand, promise to decompose within a specific time frame given the right temperature, moisture level, and oxygen conditions.

Besides, they leave a nutrient-rich compost that can be later used as a fertiliser with no toxic remnants. In short, they vanish without a trace.

Understanding compostables, let’s explore sustainability’s core principles.

So far, this challenges the common perception that huge solar parks destroy their surrounding ecosystems.
