HR Tips & Techniques
 
It Begins with Conception

Many business leaders ask me how to solve retention problems.  They want a silver bullet of solutions that brings about immediate loyalty and hard work from employees.  I believe it is possible to achieve loyalty and employee commitment, but there is no silver bullet. It takes work and dedication, and that starts from the very first moment you decide to create a position.

Here are 5 steps to retention that start before you even hire the person!

1.  Design an interesting job that matches the work to the skills you are seeking.
2.  Get creative with your recruitment
3.  Get to know your candidates
4.  Make a reasonable offer
5.  Be prepared on their first day

For more detail on each of these steps, continue reading....
