As employment levels continue to rise, businesses are finding it increasingly difficult to recruit and retain high quality staff. High demand for good calibre employees continues to spur the debate that the recruitment market is currently experiencing a íwar for talentí and in such an environment it has become even more necessary for employers to examine their methods of employee retention.
In response to the challenging market place, Select Appointments has introduced an industry leading reward and recognition programme in order to reflect the value it places on its teams. The programme includes íSelect Superstarsí, a regular reward scheme that offers off-site group activity days, such as country pursuits, for employees who reflect the companyís values and attitudes in their work ethic. Longer-term projects include íMini Gemsí - an incentive scheme that awards the high value prize of a Mini to employees who perform consistently well over a number of years. These schemes are in addition to motivating and generous profit share schemes.
Through these programmes, employees are made constantly aware of their importance to the company and by rewarding attitude and achievement, retention of employees is improved. Having successfully implemented such schemes amongst its own workforce, and having received positive evidence from an internal survey that 72% of its employees are very satisfied with their work place, Select Appointments has strengthened its position as a voice of authority in advising its clients on staff recruitment and retention issues. This success will also help with the companyís drive to take on fifty extra employees over the next couple of months.
