Keeping Employees
Canadian employers are concerned about retaining employees. A number of factors are driving this concern.
- Hiring is expensive when one considers recruitment costs, low productivity of new employees during their orientation, and lost productivity of managers or employees providing orientation.
- Labour shortages
- Retirement of older workers
More employers are realizing the value of creating workplace programs as an incentive to retain employees. This page provides links to a variety of workplace programs for you to consider in your workplace.
