Our recent research report - Bridging the Recruitment Gap - has shown that the point when you are looking to retain workers is starting earlier. Much earlier. Like when they say ‘yes’ to the employment offer: Day Zero. Are you finding that this early onboarding is an unexpected new part of your job? Many other recruiters or HR managers certainly are too. One in three of the recruiters in our network have been reporting attrition before new recruits have even started, caused by counter offers and competitive offers elsewhere. At the same time, there’s a worn-out workforce who are looking at inflation eating away at their pay and curious about what deals you’re striking with new recruits.
This Cambridge Network hosted masterclass will look at how to be smart at keeping people, right from onboarding through to career progression in the current climate. We encourage you to bring your current retention challenges and will focus on the specific requirements of the group and help you:
-
Gain a better sense of what is currently ‘normal’ for local companies in terms of onboarding and retention
-
Have the opportunity to share some ideas and work through your situation
-
Have some actions to take away
