Here's what's happening this week:
Last Week’s QOTW Poll Results:
Q: Do your internal job candidates receive the same level of care as new job applicants?
- Of course! - 35%
- We could do better. - 47%
- Should they? - 18%
Internal employees are the lifeblood of your organization – they’re family. If you’re not taking care of them, someone else will. Sometimes they’re not qualified, but investing time in explaining why, creating a development plan for them, and giving them some TLC tells your employee base that you care about them – and you CAN grow within your organization. They’ll share those positive vibes with other colleagues which helps build greater retention. Still not convinced? Reach out to us today – we’ll be happy to help you strategize around your internal recruitment process.
