A company’s culture must be a reflection of its ultimate goals and align with its values, so it makes complete sense to make culture part of the recruitment process.
Investing in your workforce is the smart thing to do – it’s the right thing to do. When a business invests in a piece of machinery, it performs well but it’s never going to increase its performance, if anything it’ll burn out and have to be renewed.
After a hard day at the office, a few of us will admit to fast-forwarding our lives to the moment we retire. At times we crave freedom and wallow in the thought of not having to get up early every morning.
Picture the scene. It’s lunchtime and a group of co-workers are sitting with each other in the office canteen. Maybe they’re talking about the latest reality TV programme, how close it is to someone’s wedding or even chatting about the weather.
Recruitment – there’s no getting out of it in business. There are always going to be instances when someone leaves or goes on maternity. Gaps become available when a company experiences growth.
We all want to feel valued; it’s human nature. It’s so important for businesses to recognise good work and to offer rewards and benefits to make their employees feel appreciated.
Not only do employers have a legal duty to ensure the health, safety and welfare of its workforce, but combatting stress in the workplace will increase engagement and help to retain a motivated and healthy workforce.
