HRsoft

DECEMBER 21, 2015

Employee Retention is a scary concept, but it is essential. The approach is very similar to that of retaining a business client. It takes more money and time to convert a fresh lead into a buyer than it takes to convince an existing customer to upgrade.

Remember the letter-writer whose boyfriend had her old job and was being treated badly by a board member? Here’s the update.

A reader writes: I work in a sector where it is common to ask competency questions in interviews (apologies for being vague, but if I stated my work area you’d probably respond with “oh yeah, those guys probably DO get a lot of competency questions”). These range from informal “how would you handle this situation?” ” discussions to “please take us through the X process” to full-on sheets of exam questions with mark schemes. Needless to say I loathe the things. But recently I got my first bad reaction. Are there better ways to handle this problem?
