In South Africa and around the world, companies are facing significant challenges in attracting talent, competing for scarce skills, getting people through the door and then holding onto them. Since 2020, the nature of work has changed, and so too, the nature of talent selection and retention.
At Lumenii, our experience is that, while these challenges may seem clear on the surface, many companies are struggling to articulate and solve them in their unique context. The questions we often get asked are:
-
How can I make my employer brand more attractive to candidates?
-
How can I get people across the line, when it comes to recruitment?
-
How can I ensure I'm making the right decisions, and not wasting my time and money?
-
What can I offer my employees to make them stay?
Lumenii is hosting a free online seminar on 27 October to help organisations start to answer these questions and learn more about the latest best practices for effective talent selection and retention. The seminar is aimed at small to medium businesses and speaks to the realities of companies where time, money and resources may be limited.
