Don’t be complacent
I was recently interviewed by the local Business Journal. The original story was about how HR departments have changed since recruiting and retention have slowed down due to the poor economy. Slowed down? I didn’t think so! I told the reporter that while recruiting might be a bit easier in today’s economy, the role of HR is more important than ever before.
In Don’t Forget About Existing Employees we talk about the importance of keeping existing employees — particularly critical employees — engaged. Recall a few posts ago in Get Engaged I talked about a Right Management survey that indicates that over 80% of existing employees are at risk when the economy turns.
So read the Business Journal article to understand the importance of engagement.
P.S. And you’ll get to see a picture of me bald!
