Clint’s proprietary research from 10,000+ employee interviews reveals what makes people stay and how to create organizations where people love to work.
Clint’s Mentor Leader framework gives leaders strategies they can instantly use to create the everyday moments that make people feel seen, valued, and invested in.
Clint shows sales teams how to “mentor” customers instead of sell to them, increasing loyalty, referrals, and long-term growth through the behaviors that build stronger client relationships.
Clint Pulver helps organizations address a critical truth: People don’t leave companies — they leave leaders. As the founder of The Center for Employee Retention and creator of the “Undercover Employee” research project, he’s interviewed more than 10,000 employees across industries to uncover why people stay — and what drives them to leave. A Hall of Fame keynote speaker, bestselling author, pro drummer, and Emmy Award winner, he combines research, storytelling, and actionable insights to ensure leaders leave with clear behaviors for improving engagement and retention that they can apply immediately.
Employees won’t stay because of good pay and benefits. But they will if they have leaders who support, encourage, and give them tools for growing, adapting, and making an impact. Using research from 10,000 employee interviews, Clint equips leaders to elevate engagement and cultivate creative, collaborative environments.
