Description:
Today’s stretched labor market is making it more difficult for organizations to find, recruit, and select talented people. The competition for talent is intensifying, as there are fewer qualified applicants available. This shortage of talent in Atlantic Canada makes it all the more important that organizations be able to not only attract and select top candidates, but to also retain their talent over the long-term. Candidates are looking for more than just an attractive salary; they are seeking organizations that can offer them various kinds of benefits, the potential to advance, and an environment in which they can learn and thrive. If an organization cannot offer these, job seekers will find ones that do. Anna Stuart, Vice President of Knightsbridge Robertson Surrette, will share her experiences on today’s best practices for recruitment and selection. The more effectively in which organizations recruit and select candidates, the more likely they are to hire satisfied employees. You will learn during Anna’s interactive presentation that an organization’s selection process can influence tomorrow’s bottom-line business outcomes. Tony Case, Human Resources Consulting Practice Leader, and Jennifer Murray, Senior Consultant with Knightsbridge Robertson Surrette, will speak to how organizations are using on-boarding methods in their quest to encourage talent retention once the candidate has been placed. Whether you’ve heard the term before or not, on-boarding is more than just new-employee orientation, and Tony and Jennifer will explain the many ways in which organizations are using these techniques to define expectations and objectives, develop employee self-awareness and insight around leadership strengths and skill gaps, and encourage their reputation as an accessible leader and relationship-builder. Together, these presentations will demonstrate the interconnectedness between effective recruiting and on-boarding methods to the long-term success of the organization.
