Hosted by O.C. Tanner
Job transitions are career-defining moments that can accelerate — or limit — success. In fact, ADP reports that 29% of recently promoted leaders leave within a month of taking on their new roles if they haven’t received essential support. Yet research also shows that when organizations take an insightful and deliberate approach to these transitions, it fuels extraordinary levels of employee satisfaction, loyalty, and fulfillment. Hear the findings from the 2025 Global Culture Report and participate in a discussion about how transformative job transitions help employees thrive, stay, and do their best work.
