Key to
Employee Retention
     Businesses are finding it challenging to hire newly qualified staff and give them the experience and development they expect, making retention difficult. The demand is still strong for 3 year post-qualified staff meaning they can afford to be selective when taking a new role, with plenty of options elsewhere if their career path is not clear.
Financial Accounting Manager, Large multi-site retailer, Sutton
There is a significant rise in the requirement of candidates with analytical skills, and new technology, at all levels. Recruiting those with the required skills and with the right cultural fit can be quite challenging. We find flexible working hours and location are the key to retaining our top performers.”
Head of Finance, SME Technology business, Guildford
“To retain staff, it’s vital to provide an environment in which everyone wants to actively work towards the goals of the company. It’s important for staff to understand how their role is valuable in helping to achieve these goals. As a business we believe in cross-training staff so there is no fear of going on holiday and coming back to a pile of work!”
Financial Controller, Property Services, Croydon
           “Offering flexibility around working hours has enabled our staff to enjoy a better work/life balance and has also allowed us to employ those who care for children, enabling them to continue their careers. Adapting our recruitment approach has had a hugely positive impact on staff retention and increased our candidate pool when recruiting”
