This presentation covers staffing strategies from the start to the finish of an employee's engagement with your company. Areas that will be reviewed include why it is important to invest time and effort from the very beginning of the recruitment process, and how to do that. We will also review compliance practices during the whole life of the process in order to decrease perceptions of discrimination and potential litigation results. Items covered will span the time from recruiting, selection, onboarding, training, employee development, retention efforts, and finally to resignation or termination.
Why you should Attend: Employees are the backbone of the organization. Keeping that backbone strong and straight requires assuring quality applicants are recruited, hired, and retained. The first step is to fully understand the true cost of turnover and how that affects the company. Next, recruiting practices should attract targeted groups that will bring desirable knowledge, skills, and abilities to the table. Assuring a selected applicant’s interest and acceptance of an employment offer requires marketing and finesse. And finally, retaining valuable employees is the clinching goal. Understanding what employees really want and then making efforts to provide appropriate benefits is essential. Initially, you may think money is the motivating factor; however, high-performing employees are searching for something more than just a high salary. Today's workforce desires flexibility in their job and balance in their life. Employees want a challenging job where they are motivated, engaged with incentives and rewards that make sense, and show respect and appreciation. Developing a staffing strategy that is effective and compliant will produce cost savings and profitable results.
