Seminar Addresses
Employee Retention Strategies
The high unemployment rate and the growing demand for skilled workers is
creating a crisis for the majority of employers across the United States.
It is getting more difficult to find and keep talented workers. As a
result, organizations placing more effort in creating better places to
work to retain their employees. Strategies enabling you to retain your
best and brightest are available at the upcoming workshop, Here Today,
Here Tomorrow, being held in Atlanta on July 20th. The
one-day seminar sponsored by Chart Your Course International and People
Skills International will be held at the World Trade Center Club at 303
Peachtree Street from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Greg Smith, president
of Chart Your Course International and author of Here Today, Here
Tomorrow, says that “Unemployment is the lowest it has been since 2000
and estimates show 48 to 65 percent of the workforce is dissatisfied with
their current employment situation and could leave for better positions as
the economic situation continues to improve.
The healthcare industry is most at risk. To keep their workforce
intact, employers need solid strategies for employee retention.”
The Society of Human
Resource Management (SHRM) and the Wall Street Journal website recently
completed the Job Recovery Survey. The key findings revealed
64 percent of employees said they were extremely likely to begin or
increase the intensity of their job search. An additional 19 percent said
they were somewhat likely to increase their search.
“U.S. businesses spend
over $200 billion annually recruiting and replacing employees,” says Karla
Brandau, president of People Skills International and authority in Culture
Integrity. “It would make sense for companies to reduce the money spent
replacing employees by spending the money to retain employees, thus
reducing training time for new employees. When good employees are
retained, productivity and innovation increase as you climb the ladder
together rather than putting productivity on hold as you step down a rung
or two to get new employees up to speed. By retaining your best and
brightest, you will reduce expenses while you make faster progress toward
increased market share and organizational effectiveness.”
