Getting work to work for you…
Managers all over the world are into
a desperate struggle for talented
workers. Many are responding with an
all-out effort to recruit and attract the
right candidates. However, they can
more easily compete in this tough job
market by concentrating on retaining
the good workers they already have.
An increasing number of HR Practitioners
have committed themselves to doing
whatever it takes to hold on to their most
valuable resource – good employees,
because they have realized that investing
in them pays dividends. No longer is it
only enough to be the company that
people want to work for, but there should
be a focused effort to select the right
people in the first place.
So, if you really would like to invest in
yourself and a career focused on work
and the workplace, then you have to
further your education and enrol for one
