They’re in it for the long haul at this financial services firm: Annual turnover is an extremely low 5%. A robust mentorship program (one in three financial advisers serves as a mentor) makes new hires feel supported. When disasters hit, a cross-divisional crisis management team goes into overdrive, helping staff and continuing to pay those who can’t get to work.
