On July 26, TMP's resident retention expert Greta Sherman will share some of her trade secrets with an eager group in Bellevue, Washington. As Senior Vice President of Strategic Planning for TMP Worldwide, Greta brings 25 years of experience in the areas of staffing, recruitment and retention of employees. At this seminar, Greta hopes to teach attendees some key strategies that make the difference between losing and keeping your best and brightest employees.
Retention is one of the most important issues in staffing, and it's only getting bigger. In a recent Monster Work/Life Balance Survey, 89 percent of all respondents said they wanted to change jobs. Now factor in the real possibility of a workforce shortage by 2010 of eight to 10 million US employees. Keep in mind the financial reality of having to spend on average an extra one-third of an employee's salary to transition a new hire. The need for you to establish a robust, measurable employee retention program becomes critical.
Human Resources has little control over retention because it happens every day within the workplace - not in the HR office. But HR can provide the tools front line managers need to measure and manage retention efforts. Generational differences, mentoring, appropriate team building and conflict resolution techniques, inventorying employees and recognition programs that work will be discussed at this retention seminar.
