Employee retention
While a new hire can invigorate a team, fill skills gaps and more, it is important to consider your employee retention strategies. For example, are existing staff leaving, and why? As fast as you hire, you can be losing valuable talent at the same time if there is little reason to stay and attractive offers elsewhere. Effective employee retention programmes will include staff management, training and development, comps and benefits, and information on employment law. By upskilling and recognising employees, you’ll have excellent onboarding available for your new hires when they come in – win/win.
