Building the Better Workforce

“Building the Better Workforce”

Keys to Improved Recruitment and Retention

1. As the U.S. labor market strengthens, employees have more choice. Job growth is on the rise and with it the need for in-demand talent.

2. The companies that attract and retain the best employees will come out ahead. HR decision makers need to leverage strong recruiting and retention strategies to win in today’s changing workforce environment.

3. Manpower Group’s 2015 Talent Shortage Survey found that 32% of U.S. employers surveyed had difficulty filling jobs, of which 41% sited reduced competitiveness and productivity because of it. The consequences of not attracting and retaining the right talent will affect your bottom line.

4. To evolve your strategy to attract top talent, you should:

• Define your company’s brand to job-seekers in a focused, consistent way across all channels.
• Create clear, compelling job ads that focus on the needs of the job-seeker.
• Review your employee benefits package to ensure you’re competitive, and then boast about your benefits to secure top talent.
• A study found that job ads that focused on addressing the needs of the job-seeker performed 3x better than ads that focused on the needs of the company.

5. To evolve your strategy retain top talent and avoid costly turnover, you should:

• Develop a strong communication plan with employees to listen and receive feedback.
• Offer valuable training and development opportunities to employees.
• Consider expanding rewards, perks and promotions—like pay raises, bonuses, flex time and work-at-home options.
• Did you know that many companies have implemented tools like the stay interview and net promoter systems to gain insight on employee sentiment and reduce turnover?
