Attracting and Retaining - The Next Great Employer Challenge present by Express Employment Professionals

About the Event:
Now that most employers can see the light at the end of the recession tunnel, CEOs across America are turning their attention to their next great challenge, protection of their greatest asset; the knowledge of their people. Retention of your most talented employees has become the #1 agenda item of employers. Recent surveys indicate up to 80% of your employees are open to the opportunity of a job change and 50% have already mentally checked out or are actively looking.
Studies also show that 60% of the non-exempt workforce leave their jobs within the first six months and make their decision to leave within the first 30 days. We will discuss the need and methods to increase employee engagement and retention, and why up to 80% of turnover can be attributed to poor hiring-costing employers up to 150% of the first year’s salary to reverse the damage. This session will raise each leader’s effectiveness to the benefits and tools of retention as well as implementing fool proof hiring techniques to maximize your investment.
