Over the years of helping our clients with their strategic resourcing needs, we have seen time and time again how little consideration is given to matters of employee engagement, retention, and processes before specifically publishing the job posting.
Executive Leadership and Human Resources will typically deploy an employee survey every 3-5 years within the organization. However, by the time feedback is provided to Leadership, the company will experience unidentified productivity gaps, high-turn-over rates and employer reputation impact.
We are excited to bring to our clients not only winning workforce strategies in tech; we now bring our strategic resourcing solution coupled with an “innovative tech workforce stabilization” solution that provides real-time feedback to leadership.
“What workforce strategies have you found to be successful in your organization?
