Candidate attraction and retention top HR priorities

HR Managers are increasingly concerned about their candidate attraction strategies, a new report has shown.

Hudson's national report on HR priorities for 2006, which surveyed about 8,700 employers across 18 sectors, found that staff development and retention is still the top priority this year for HR managers (39%), but attracting suitable staff (23%) was seen as an increasingly important issue.

Other key priorities included enhancing performance and productivity (21%), developing leadership capabilities (10%), and managing industrial relations (3%).

The report urged employers to consider how their attraction and retention strategies reflect their employer brand, and how hiring processes impact on company goals.

"Smarter organisations are taking a systemic view and driving linkages across their management and attraction of talent," the report said.

It also stressed the need for employers to increase their focus on internal talent management strategies: "Organisations need to identify, track and manage the talent that they have, then think laterally and flexibly about how to utilise and engage their best asset."

If you need help with your talent management strategies, we can highly recommend Assessment Edge .

The event consists of a series of 50 chic and individual dinner parties taking place simultaneously on the same night in only the finest restaurants, unique venues or people's homes.
