Growth is difficult without the people you need.
In this video we will be looking at the UK employment market and what it means for recruitment and retention. A very topical issue for employers and one the Chancellor’s spring budget focused on very heavily back in March 2023.
Key questions for employers to consider…
- How long does it take to successfully recruit a new employee?
- How often does the process have to restart if the candidate declines to join?
- How long does it take a new employee to reach optimum productivity?
- Should your key focus be retaining existing employees?
- Is job flexibility possible – how can it be introduced?
- Could you introduce Total Reward Statements?
- Do you offer a relevant and meaningful benefits package to employees?
- Are you regularly and effectively promote benefits remuneration and reward offering?
Despite the apparent conflict between employee attraction and retention and inflationary costs employers shouldn’t be disheartened – there remains cost-effective and in some case cost- neutral methods of managing these challenges with the right employee proposition programmes in place.
