If You’re Struggling to Retain Employees – Maybe You Should Look in the Mirror

I work for a company that's been STRUGGLING to retain employees over the past ~2 years. The owner constantly blames management and says “people don't leave companies, they leave bosses”. I have a strong urge to send her an article like this just to see what she says back: https://brightmatterhr.com/knowledge-centre/blogs/key-employee-retention-strategies-to-keep-top-performers/ Only because she does NONE of these things and actually prevents the management team from doing them as well. I mean, my onboarding was an absolute joke and I provided feedback on how to improve it and was actually told maybe I was the problem, not the training program. Why are business owners so stubborn? And what do you think is the most important point from the article above? Maybe I'll just address one first to start slow and see what happens.
