ROI Maintain Zero Attrition for Third Year Running
One of the toughest challenges facing any rapidly growing business is selecting and retaining good quality staff. In just three years ROI have grown from zero to 50 staff and boast a perfect record on staff retention; no member of staff having passed their probation period has resigned.

Managing Director, Nigel Sandiford, comments, “Both myself and fellow founder Paul Smart come from a history in the non-profit sector where you rely on volunteers choosing to devote their time and dedication with no financial gain. Managing in that environment requires a very different approach to people. The Management Team has to demonstrate a high level of care and respect for their employees and have a genuine appreciation for them. Too many businesses forget that employees have a choice about where they work and how hard they perform. We knew that if we created an environment where smart people wanted to come to work and more importantly wanted to stay, we would reap huge productivity rewards."

ROI operate in the telemarketing industry which suffers massive attrition rates due to it being seen as a low-esteem career and the pressure of working in a target-driven environment. One local call-centre was even reputed to replace over 80% of its staff every six months.

Nigel Sandiford concludes, “What we’ve managed to do at ROI is apply the lessons we learned from the voluntary sector and combine them with a disciplined commercial focus. We’ve proved that beyond all doubt that if you trust your employees they will repay you with loyalty and hard-work. Every single employee here knows that we have their best interests firmly in our hearts, and our clients therefore benefit from having extremely loyal, experienced, committed and motivated staff working on their projects."
