Advice to Management

Employee Retention Can Be Improved with the Following:
-Develop mentorship and employee engagement programs for higher retention
-More industry-standard compensation should be implemented rather than treating the perks as comparable payment, in the Bay Area at this time these are standards rather than perks
-Eventually integrate volunteering opportunities to improve company image and foster community engagement
-Reward employees who perform well rather than those who are popular or likable
