The 4 Culprits Behind PR's High Turnover Rates

Today we bring you a guest post from Laurent L. Lawrence, Associate Director of Public Relations for the PRSA in New York.

A few weeks ago, Patrick Coffee asked a pretty good question: Why Does PR Have Such a Big Turnover Problem? It’s a question I’ve heard far too often. I anticipated a blend of pontification and vitriol-laced responses from all corners of the industry. I waited for the senior pros and agency owners to blame Millennials’ lack of loyalty, while young and new pros would chime in with a heated stance on an industry in need of “disruption.”

Yet, there seem to have been few who were willing to comment in response to his question.
