Course Description
"Recruiting & Retention Strategies" is a course that's been specifically designed for professionals who are looking to improve their overall workforce. By looking at the best ways to retain employees and to recruit new talent, companies can ensure they are able to thrive, no matter what the economy does and no matter what happens in an industry.
Some of the topics covered in this course include how companies benefit from recruiting talent, employee branding, aligning recruitment to job requirements, the importance of retention, how recruitment and retention work together, how to retain your talent, preventing high turnover rates, using benefits to maintain a competitive hiring advantage, corporate wellness programs, managing attrition, and surviving a talent crunch.
With each lesson building on the one before it, "Recruiting & Retention Strategies" helps to guide people who want to build a team that is effective and that wants to stay around for the long-term. By looking at what talent looks like in a company and finding out what benefits can bring new talent in, a company can begin to create a company that has a strong reputation for prospective team members.
In addition, a company can begin to understand how to hold onto the employees who are the most valuable to the team. While not everyone will be able to stay on board forever, there are ways to ensure that long-time employees are interested in saying, rather than looking for other employment opportunities.
With the return of economic stability, or at least less unpredictability, employers may begin to rethink their hiring and team development strategies. Not only do they have fewer employees at their disposal, but also they still may not be sure if they want to hire more people.
Instead, they need to make sure they are hiring the best possible people for their company's needs, now and in the future. All the while, they also need to figure out how to keep the good employees they already have.
This process needs to begin with a clear understanding of the company's direction and needs from the team. From there, it is clear who the right people are to hire and whom they need to hold onto for as long as their budgets allow.
Proper recruiting and retention strategies will help companies who are interested in doing more, but not spending more. While some of the strategies might require some investment of time and resources, the results far outweigh the costs.
Perhaps the growth of the economy will provide an opportunity for companies to realize that it is not about the bottom line so much as it is about the people whom contribute to the revenue.
The companies that focus on building their teams are the ones that will have the resources to weather any future storm and who will be able to create the best possible foundation for the company's direction.
From the people you want to hire to how you recruit them and retain them, this course is going to help you better understand how your company can plan its workforce and make it as effective as possible.
Though you cannot predict what the economy might do next, you can create a staff, which are ready for everything that might happen and are trained to handle anything that comes their way.
