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.
Here are some suggestions that your organization can implement
to minimize the risk of your employees leaving, many of which are
of low or no cost ideas to implement.
Hiring Practices:
- Hire right in the first place – take your time in making
sure you find the right candidate up front both from your perspective
and the candidate’s.
-
Hire people with complementary skills to what you already have
in your company – this way, people will feel that they bring
something to the company that no one else has.
-
Find out what employees want before you hire them and make sure
that their careers go in that direction.

Investing in Sales Personnel
An Article by Sales for Life
Replacing a sales person may be the most costly thing your company
does this year. In a typical company the true cost of replacing
a sales person is three times that of replacing a senior manager.
The Society for HR Management reports the actual cost to be US$300,000¹,
when considering lost opportunity, lost sales and learning curves.
Considering product knowledge, customer relationships, proprietary
company specific knowledge, replacement timing, training, typical
productivity/learning curve and impact on the organization; it is
not surprising that most business owners and key decision makers
regularly underestimate the true cost of replacing sales person.
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.
