Good Work, Recruitment & Retention
18th April 2023 @ 1:30 pm - 2:30 pm BST
Good Work, Recruitment & Retention
Rosemary Exton and Dr Peter Totterdill share evidence and experience of how leading companies attract, engage and retain talent.
Becoming an employer of choice lies at the heart of business competitiveness. It is not just about filling vacancies and skills gaps – it is about building workplace cultures and working practices that use and develop the knowledge, skills and creativity of the entire workforce.
Evidence and experience alike show that better working lives lead to enhanced business performance and innovation, as well as attracting and retaining the best talent.
Fair pay, decent conditions and good HR are no longer enough. Getting there requires a willingness to learn, to be open to new thinking, and to test new ways of working.
