In this segment of the interview, Steve Suggs emphasizes that implementing a structured coaching and onboarding process from day one dramatically improves employee retention. He also shares findings from recent studies indicating that hiring candidates who are significantly more intelligent or experienced than the role’s complexity can backfire, as such employees become bored and are unlikely to stay long-term. The discussion highlights the balance needed between hiring smart talent and ensuring they are appropriately challenged to sustain engagement.

Because they're not going to be challenged and they're going to get bored.
