Last week we talked about Recruiting, and research shows that this topic has a direct impact and correlation with today’s resolution focus: Employee Turnover. Who you get in the door, how you integrate them into your company culture, and how you treat them once they’re “up and running” are three key parts of why employees choose to stay or go astray.

With the turn of the economy, we’ve seen a big shift in the job market. Movement is happening at increasing rates, and all of a sudden we’re finding ourselves in the backseat in the talent race. You mean I actually have to RECRUIT for my open positions? Candidates aren’t knocking on MY door for a job? Recruiting is real and it’s even more real in 2015 than it’s been in a lot of years. As you take off your HR policy hat (or whichever one you’re wearing today) and put on your recruiting hat, here are three questions to consider when looking to recruit top talent in 2015.

1. How well do you know yourself?
Your company culture is what it is. You may or may not like it, but it’s not going to change overnight with a few new hires. Having a clear concept of your actual company culture will help you put talent in place that will work hard for your company and stick around. Hiring a good culture fit and training for skills is going to be more beneficial to your company in the long run. Looking to change your culture? Here are a few tips to help you get started.

It's goal-setting time. Whether personal or professional, we tend to take this time at the beginning of the calendar year to reflect on the past and improve for the future. As an HR Professional, the world in which you work is ever-changing and evolving. It feels like the past two years have brought about even more change – technology is more prevalent in the workplace, recruiting has completely changed, and the new “Millennial” workforce has different goals, wants, and needs... not to mention those "small changes" made to benefits and healthcare in 2014 – and you're right in the middle of it!!
