Keeping talent in
your business
Over the last 12 months recruitment has consistently been viewed as the biggest headache faced by employers across our region. T e latest employment stats suggest the employment rate in the UK is around 75%. T is means recruitment is likely to remain a problem for the foreseeable future. However, with a continuously rising percentage
of people now in employment, and with increased economic uncertainty, the importance of retaining good talent is just as important as good recruitment. At Howes Percival we have focussed our strategy around our people. We strive to be a place where people want to work and enjoy working as retention of talent is integral to enabling us to achieve our strategic goals. In this article we share some of the options an employer may wish to explore when looking at retention (and recruitment) of employees.
Invest in training Make sure your employees are receiving regular, structured and continuous training. This will help them expand and improve their knowledge, experience and expertise and should be seen as fundamental to any successful business. Encouraging employees to develop will help build a reliable and engaged workforce and demonstrates to employees they are valued members of the team. It also provides employees with confi dence you are prepared to invest in and support their growth, which in turn can lead to promotions and new opportunities for them (and for you).
