The 2023 American Opportunity Index evaluated nearly 400 large U.S. firms to produce key findings on how firms maximize their internal talent to drive corporate performance and the growth of their employees. It also raised significant disparities in promotion and retention among companies and underscores the business choice in talent management practices. Among their key findings are that large companies that excel in employee retention save up to $400 million annually on turnover costs, primarily by offering promotion opportunities and competitive wages. Additionally, top companies are 2.5 times more likely to promote employees and pay 68% more for the same roles, benefiting corporate performance and worker growth.
