In an age where technological advances are readily affordable to many businesses, employee attraction and retention is even more critical to business success. Business success is largely dependent on attracting the right people to the right posts and ensuring employee retention once achieved. To ensure this, businesses need to be creative in both their employee recruitment and retention strategies. Whilst recruitment can be difficult, it is often employee retention which proves more difficult. The first three months of employment are critical for both the employee and employer, especially in cases where the employee has to relocate. Employers should be thinking of creative ways to attract and retain the talent required to ensure the business succeeds. Options such as a variation of relocation packages and comprehensive inductions into the business are just a few elements that need to be considered. For those employees who do have to relocate, the relocation package offered by their employer is often a deciding factor in their eventual decision.
