We have a client who had been facing a labour shortage for a number of years—all while undergoing major changes in their manufacturing process.
When we sat down to talk, the owner agreed to take an in-depth look at the ways we could attract workers to the company, as well as highlight their greatest assets.
Determine the organisation greatest assets for recruiting
This is how we divided our approach:
The final results allowed our client to identify which work areas to prioritize in order to improve employee satisfaction, as well as what points needed to be highlighted to attract new workers. Many elements were already in place to nourish the company’s family culture, allowing us to create work rituals, better work conditions, and more. In fact, the company ended up filling all their job vacancies!
Although our initial mandate was to fill a recruitment need, the process of reinforcing company values and culture will help in decision-making for the long term. Plus it will contribute to ensuring the company builds a durable, resilient reputation.
Have you surveyed employees to see what motivates them to invest in their work—and your company? We’d love to hear about it!
