Stephanie Taylor and Tom Stephenson hosted an interactive session where they discussed the key challenges that businesses are currently facing in recruiting and retaining talent, with top tips for how to overcome these issues.
We recently asked our Trowers Tuesday attendees to identify the key issues facing their business: 42% named recruitment and retention as the biggest challenge. Despite over 1 million job vacancies in the UK, it is taking 18% longer on average to recruit staff. Given the time and effort that goes into recruiting and training staff, it is vital for employers to create an environment that encourages employees to stay with the business.
Experienced solicitors from Trowers & Hamlins' Employment team offered top tips on recruiting and retaining talent, including what candidates are looking for when it comes to employee benefit packages, and how employers can avoid legal pitfalls.
Topics covered:
- Why does recruitment and retention currently prove a challenge?
- How to encourage applications from a diverse talent pool.
- How to stand out and attract the best talent.
- How to retain employees.
