Tips on Retaining Staff
An Article by TorontoJobs.ca

The market for quality staff has become more and more competitive with demand exceeding supply in many areas of the economy – a trend that is expected to continue in the coming years as boomers retire.

In addition, the cost of hiring new staff (e.g. costs of advertising and training, productivity delays, etc.) has increased substantially over the last decade.

Even more remarkable is the lack of investment in developing professional sales persons as stated in the most current Statistics Canada figures, which shows Sales & Marketing training investment at a considerably lower level than managers, technical trades and even clerical & administrative staff. In fact the only group receiving less training investment in Canada is hourly production workers.
