Forum will offer expert guidance on employee recruitment and retention

Guidance on recruiting and retaining employees in today's highly competitive market place will be supplied at the third Coventry & Warwickshire Wellbeing For Life Workplace Wellbeing Forum on Tuesday 20th June.

Recruiting and keeping hold of employees has become a major challenge for employers in 2023. Employee turnover rates have increased by 9% since 2019 and are predicted to pass 40% this year. To recruiting and hire a new employee is taking an average of six weeks and estimates of this cost to a business are around of 25% of the employee’s annual salary.

On top of this, uncertainty around the financial future is affecting businesses' decisions on recruitment budgets and wellbeing/total reward packages.

The Coventry & Warwickshire Wellbeing For Life Workplace Wellbeing Forum will take a fresh look at your investment in sourcing, training and retaining strategies. This free event, at Nettle Hill Conference Centre, Brinklow Rd, Ansty, CV7 9JL, will be hosted by Warwickshire County Council's Public Health team for all businesses with five employees or more who are based or have satellite offices in Coventry and Warwickshire.
