Struggling with Employee Retention and Recruitment? How Can HR Tackle These Challenges?

Employee Retention and Recruitment Challenges

My CEO has asked me to get back to him regarding my review as an HR on the following points:

Employees are leaving frequently for our competitors or other reasons. I need to identify factors to improve and rectify this issue. Additionally, there is difficulty in recruiting candidates for both IT and Non-IT roles due to the lucrative market.

I need to present my understanding of handling these challenges as an HR. What measures can I take or suggest? What additional monitoring or actions should I implement to prevent such situations and enhance the current scenario? Please assist me as I need to share my review today at 4 pm.

Dear Swati,

Earlier, you had raised a post on employee attrition in your company. In my reply to your post, I had provided measures to contain the attrition.

The other issues you mentioned can also be managed; however, providing solutions requires a thorough study of your organization. This may involve conducting surveys as part of a consulting activity.

Is the top boss a cause of employee attrition?

In many small companies, the whimsical behavior of the top boss is a primary reason for employee turnover.

Recruitment challenges in a competitive market

You have raised a new concern about not being able to recruit candidates in both IT and non-IT roles due to the competitive market. Finding the right talent is a significant challenge even for well-known companies. Larger companies benefit from their brand strength when attracting candidates, unlike smaller companies with weaker brand recognition. Developing a strong brand image is crucial to attracting candidates to smaller organizations.

Thanks,

Dinesh Divekar
