Tarsus Online Media expands into the rapidly growing online education arena, and further into the human resources function, with the announcement of The Retention Institute: www.RetentionInstitute.com

This new online learning and certification program helps HR executives reduce employee turnover and increases companies' competitiveness with process-based solutions.

CEOs and HR executives concerned with the high costs of turnover in their companies now have a new set of tools at their disposal to slash those costs significantly - and to introduce a new level of professionalism to their organizations. The Retention Institute offers HR executives an online certification program designed to tame the turnover tiger, improve productivity, boost careers and enhance competitiveness.

Based on the model developed by retention expert Dick Finnegan, President of Finnegan Mackenzie (The Retention Firm), the tools and their processes bring program participants together with executive managers to apply the proven strategies and tactics leading to improved retention for the company. This also leads to certification as retention experts, entitled to add the CERP designation (Certified Employee Retention Professional) to their names.

"The most important feature of this program," states RD Whitney, institute founder and CEO of Tarsus Online Media, "is that candidates will not only learn the absolutely most effective employee retention techniques but as part of the certification process they will apply them directly to their organizations in real time, for real results. Candidates then become retention champions who bring successful retention strategies to other parts of the organization, repaying the certification investment many times over."

Unique to the program are the Retention Model's process-driven solutions which deal with employee turnover in much the same way as companies manage sales, service, quality, safety and any other aspect of running the enterprise.

Additional information, including a free copy of The Rethinking Retention Model, is available through the Institute's web site. For questions and additional information visit the website at www.retentioninstitute.com or call RD Whitney at 603-925-1160.
