Feature #1 – Increased Employee Turnover Makes Hiring Decisions Critical – How Effective is Your Hiring Process?  Do You HAVE a Hiring Process?
 
Look Out - Increased Employee Turnover is Right Around The Corner 
 
As we look ahead to the next several years, the evidence seems clear.  Organizations that don't implement the necessary practices will face losing key employees, as voluntary turnover is likely to grow and once again become a strategic business issue as it was in the late 1990's
 
An Improving Economy Brings Unwanted Employee Turnover 
 
Indicators show that our economy is getting back on track following the horrors of September 11, 2001. The U.S. economy added 2.2 million jobs in 2004, the highest rate of job growth since 1999. Economists expect the economy to add a similar number of jobs in 2005, a rate that should keep gross domestic product growth steady at about 3.5%. The growing economy is good news.
 
The bad news is that as the economy grows, employment will continue to rise, and with it voluntary employee turnover is projected to rise significantly.
 
A recent survey conducted by Vital Learning Corp’s close associate Dr Lynn Ware, Employee Retention expert, shows that in answer to the question... "What are the chances of you voluntarily leaving your job within the next twelve months?"... more thanhalf of the survey respondents (52%) said "moderatelyhigh to almost certain!"
 
Another survey conducted by SHRM, Society for Human Resource Management, showed that "83% of employees said that it was "extremely likely" or "somewhat likely" that they would actively seek new employment once the job market and economy improves".
 
Then there are the more macro trends.  Overall we are becoming a more mobile society and economy. For instance the US Department of Labor data demonstrates that, on average, employee tenure declined 82% from the 1950's to 2000. And the US national average employee tenure today is running 3.5 years.  Based on that we think it’s important to ask... Do you know what your organizations trend is over the last 10 years, and what it is today?
 
 
Feature #2 - Learn to Make the Best Hiring Choices – Resources to Build Your Skill Base in the Hiring Process
 
ALD provides two great choices for developing the skills necessary for managing the hiring process and for conducting the interviews effectively:
  1. Hiring Winning Talent – a classroom or online workshop to develop and implement a structured process that can really streamline and empower successful hiring
  2. Behavioral Interviewing – an online course to provide you with the tools you need to ask the right questions to better discover if your candidate is the right person for the job
  
8.0 Hour Classroom Workshop
or
4.0 Hour Online Course
 
There’s more to it than the interview!
 
A successful hiring process doesn’t start with the job posting and doesn’t end when a candidate has been selected. Before an open position is advertised, an efficient and consistent hiring process must be in place. That process will enable a manager to identify the job competencies, build the interview questions, and develop the hiring strategy required to win a really qualified new employee who performs well and fits in from day one.
 
Experience has proven that a manager’s ability to understand and participate in a structured hiring process has a direct impact on business results. Without a process in place managers devote too much time to interviews and too little time to interview preparation and the selection process itself.

The tools you need to ask the right questions DURING the interview
 
Successful interviews begin with these key principles:
1.      Future behavior is best predicted by pat behavior– can the candidate demonstrate that they’ve been able to effectively perform this skill/job in the past?
2.      Effective interviewing begins with a thorough understanding of the open position – be prepared with the right questions and the right answers.
3.      Focus on the right fit for the organization, as well as capabilities for the job – what skills would the person need?
4.      Multiple interviews and interviewers produce more accurate results.
5.      Candidates must be treated with dignity and respect.
