HR: YOU VERSUS THE COMPETITION

By July 1, 2012No Comments

HR operates in a highly competitive landscape. For example, your ability to attract and retain employees more effectively than your competitors will benefit your bottom line. HR can play a key role in this process. How would your company compare to the competition in these elements of employee compensation?

  • Salaries and wages
  • Benefits and other rewards
  • Training
  • Career growth opportunities
  • Flexible work arrangements
  • Retirement benefits

If you’re not clear about how you stack up, you have some serious homework to do. Many industry groups or local employer groups can help you obtain data related to your industry. Contacting a recruiter in your field can also help supply you with this information. Remember that these factors can have a significant effect on your ability to attract employees, get them engaged, retain them, avoid unionization efforts, and improve your brand and customer relations.
