2011 “Biggest Quits” Announces Top 10 Resignations in the U.S.

New York, NY, January, 2012 - Retensa, a leader in Employee Retention Strategies and Research, publishes its most unique seventh annual “Biggest Quits” list. In 2011, more organizations lost executives after staying 20 months than 20 years. When employees see their captains jump ship what message does it send down the ranks? What message does it send to investors and stakeholders? Each year, Retensa compiles a list of the top 10 most noteworthy resignations across all US industries, sports, and government. Fewer resignations at the top took place this year, but those who did made headlines.

A visionary, ruthless, genius forever changed the standards of technology and gay rights lost a Washington insider. The "Big Daddy” of television, the Red Sox, and Middle East peacemakers. Do those leaders’ impact compare to Phil Jackson’s? His 12 championship rings would say so. What’s the connection between everyone here and Groupon? It is one of the most unique year-end reviews in the US, the link is the Top 10 “Biggest Quits” List. If you ever shopped at Costco, you know they need to retain every employee they can, and one very important person resigned last year. Be careful using Twitter, because some Tweets are made for walking, and that’s just what they did in 2011.

Instability breeds uncertainty and organizations are already faced with the challenge of remaining steady to retain their top talent in an ever-changing workplace. Find out whose resignations made an impact big enough to create change in 2011. The answers can be found in the seventh annual publication of Retensa’s Top 10 “Biggest Quits of 2011”.
