Episode Details

In this episode of 9–5 Exit Plan, I sit down with Clark A. Ingram, Founder and President of People Profits and author of Churn.

Clark began his career in finance before being pushed into human resources after his CEO recognised his ability to solve complex problems. What he discovered changed the way he viewed workforce management.

Employee turnover, chronically open positions, and skills gaps aren’t three separate problems. They’re interconnected — one “three-headed monster” that can quietly destroy productivity, profitability, and growth.

We discuss why employees really leave, why traditional HR solutions often fail, the true financial cost of turnover, how chronic understaffing creates bigger workforce problems, and what CEOs can do to address the root causes.

Clark also shares lessons from more than three decades of leadership across multiple industries and explains the finance-driven approach behind his work.

If you’re an entrepreneur, CEO, manager, or business leader struggling with hiring and retention, this conversation will challenge how you think about your people — and your profits.
