Recruiting and retaining staff

The London Development Agency has recently announced details of several initiatives which it is funding in order to help you recruit staff and advice on how to keep them happy and encourage them to stay with you. Click here to see a list of the funded training projects.

One great example is the new mentoring and masterclass programme - thanks to LDA funding you can participate for just £100 instead of the usual £1000.

Numerous studies have found that many staff judge companies according to the opportunities they offer to learn and be trained. They want to work for companies where staff are valued. They want to work for companies that trust their staff and where work is meaningful. All this can be achieved through training.

Training can be a powerful motivator – even when pay isn’t great. That isn’t an excuse to cut the wages – it’s a powerful argument for training!

In fact one of the frequent reasons people at all levels give for leaving their job is because they didn’t have a chance to learn and develop.

Our free toolkit takes a look at how to decide what sort of training is most appropriate for your staff, how to evaluate training and their individual learning styles. Click here to download the free toolkit
