Four ways to attract and retain great employees

Despite the economic devastation brought on by the 2020 pandemic – an event which caused unemployment to spike to 16% in May 2020 – the competition for top talent will be fierce as the crisis continues to evolve.

According to a report from Monster, 82% of employers in the United States plan to hire in 2021, “including 37% who plan to re-hire backfill jobs and 35% who plan on hiring for net new jobs.”

With that as a backdrop, finding and retaining highly qualified workers will continue to be a key challenge for the foreseeable future — intensified by an ever-widening skills gap. As the report notes, “a third of U.S. employers say the skills gap has increased compared to last year, and 80% of employers say they have difficulty filling openings due to skills gaps, as opposed to a year ago.”

In our recent paper, we explore four ways HR leaders can attract and retain the top talent their organisations need to thrive. These are:

  1. Create and nourish a culture of recognition
  2. Make DE&I your organisational DNA
  3. Make continuous feedback a cornerstone of your culture
  4. Elevate a culture of celebration.
