More Than Meets The Eye
Hiring The Right Person For The Job.
In any organization, attrition is expensive and disruptive and must be kept to a minimum. HR practitioners can help achieve sharply reduce attrition by a prudent selection of new hires and if required by an audit of existing staff and HR procedures.
There are many special factors to consider in achieving optimum outcomes. However, one factor does in the normal course have a major impact on the level of attrition and stands out as such from a survey undertaken by the Q2 HR Solutions team.
This factor is the degree of satisfaction, high satisfaction = low attrition, low satisfaction = high attrition.
Satisfaction includes the external environment, the work itself, the workplace, terms and conditions, job security and support structures. Equally important, or perhaps even more important, is how each employee internalizes these factors.
An essential HR function is not only to match what appears to be the right person for the right job but also to assess the potential satisfaction ratio of any job candidate. This requires HR practitioners to be of the highest professional calibre, highly experienced, and with a recognized attribution and verifiable track record of success.
Q2 HR Solutions undertakes a very detailed and in-depth assessment of potential new hires, assessing work style, compatibility, and application characteristics. Particularly in hiring those to be in a managerial position, we undertake full background investigations, seeking those who most closely identify with the unique vision of our client's organization, and who present qualities appropriate to maintaining a harmonious and productive relationship with colleagues and to work with passion for fulfilling the organization's goals and objectives.
