Society for Human Resource Management to Host Local Speaker on Recruiting and Retention of Top Talent

Rockford, IL, May 15, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Wayne Perrett, president, Strategic HR Advisors will address attendees at the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) membership meeting on Tuesday, June 17, 2008.

There’s a phenomenon that is rapidly approaching our industry’s environment – a serious labor shortage that will continue to impact global business well into the future. Finding the right employee to hire and keeping them is probably the biggest issue companies struggle with in managing the workforce today.

For that reason, Wayne Perrett and Strategic HR Advisors have developed a presentation for organizations facing this issue to learn about recruiting and retention. Participants will be engaged in a discussion around recruiting and retention. Discussion points will include becoming the employer of choice. Interest points of the discussion will include:

I. Recruiting
-- Understand how a labor shortage will impact global business
-- Uncover the steps in the recruiting process
-- Recognize how to identify the ‘ideal’ candidate
-- Learn the keys to enhancing the outcome of the candidate pool.

II. Retention
-- Understand why workforce attrition has become such a critical concern today
-- Learn what initiatives a company will want to address to improve retention
-- Recognize six key factors companies can focus on to drive retention.

Companies that demonstrate superiority in recruiting and retaining talent characteristically are the front runners in their markets. Companies utilizing undisciplined and fragmented approaches to recruiting and retention provide abundant opportunities for those that handle human resource management as a strategic component to position themselves in the drive for high performance and growth.
