The Tate Client Podcast: Recent Episodes
None
In keeping with our vision of being "the best, everywhere, all the time", the objective of Tate Guides are to deliver an insight into issues impacting business performance. These podcasts will address a range of subjects, with specially commissioned reports that will allow a deeper understanding of the changing world of office recruitment.
In this edition of the Tate Guide, we look at why retention is back on the agenda and what you can do to make sure you hold onto the talent that already exists in your organisation.
The office professional today is more than the stereotypical ‘traditional secretary’, taking on extra responsibilities such as marketing and events to HR and health & safety. As a result, these team players have become integral to business success. In our latest Guide, we look at the impact that the recession has had on working practices; what the future may hold for these linchpins of the office environment and, importantly, offer practical advice on how to make the most of the office support staff in your business.
This is a time where staff need motivating more than ever, but when traditional bonus schemes, entertainment budgets and regular salary schemes aren’t possible, companies are looking for new ways to boost morale without the expensive price tag.
We look at imaginative and cost effective ways of engaging and rewarding employees work, whilst remaining sensitive to the needs of the business.
In this edition of the Tate Guide, we look at the increasing importance of employer branding and the impact it has on employee attraction and retention.
With recruitment freezes coming to an end and high volumes of suitable applications for every role, employer branding is more important than ever. HR professionals are emphasising their corporate reputation by promoting company values, culture and opportunities to ensure they attract the best candidates in the marketplace.
This Guide examines the role of employer branding in more depth and gives useful hints and tips on getting it right.
In our first Tate Guide in 2009, ‘Too many candidates, too little time’ we looked at the impact of the recession on the UK jobs market (which was down 19.4% in 2009 compared to the year before). The recession meant that HR managers were inundated with CVs due to high levels of unemployment – particularly following private sector crashes – but not always from relevant candidates.
Now, in 2011, we look at how the employment market has changed and at the new challenges facing HR managers in the UK, in particular how to adapt your candidate attraction strategy to ensure you maintain the best possible workforce for the future.
