Hold onto your bots

Holding onto your bots can be quite a challenge.  As people go round and round the labour market looking for the best they can find, you may need to think about how to attract and retain your bots.  

There’s more to benefits than a couple of day’s a year to volunteer.  That may sound all well and good but have you covered the basics like a fair salary, good holiday allowance, compassionate leave etc.  Let’s face it, we all need money and so many companies are now offering vouchers and stuff like that as benefits but we can’t pay our gas bills with vouchers.  Money first, extras after.  What do you think? 

Think about how much money a business will spend paying people to find people for jobs where the turnover is high, often due to low pay.  What really makes sense and how best can a business use its talent?

Interview time :-)

Who’s been in those interviews where you are asked so many unnecessary questions?  Then when you get the job none of the skills that were asked for were even utilised or you were blocked in your progression.  Still, life is but a dream as they say, no wonder people daydream in interviews.  That’s what a little bird has told me anyway.

Tip:  be fair, keep notes, plan questions, only ask for what you will be using

The Aldridge Audio Typist really is a sought after person.  Over the years there has been less and less dictation in offices so these people can be hard to find (bit like people who use shorthand too).  So what if things change?

It could now get tricky to be honest.  That’s one reason to keep your website and social media up-to-date showing your HR policies and procedures.  You know, reasons that people would like to work for you.

As people know people, this could be a good way of finding the people who you want at the right time.

Please get in touch if you would like me to work with you on your website and social media to get your HR messages out there.
