11:35 - 12:05 Perks To Implement Now: Retaining High Performance People
Recruiters call employees (probably your employees) every day. We hear first-hand why candidates are willing to leave their current roles, even when they are performing well. We also hear why some candidates will not consider a move, even for an advancement in title and compensation.
During this session, this is your chance to hear current, relevant feedback from the candidate market…feedback that many employees are reluctant to openly share with their employers.
• People are your most valuable resource so be sure you are doing everything to keep your top performers.
• The best retention strategies are not just about perks and money.
• You already have what you need to create a successful retention program.
• Think about retention before you even make the hire.
