Get ahead in 2017 by tackling employee engagement now

The start of the New Year is always a busy time for job hunting, with Standard Life reporting 54 per cent of UK workers wanted to change their role in January 2016.

By Steve Smith, managing director, Scancapture.

High staff turnover is disruptive to a business, especially when you’re trying to get the New Year off to a strong start.

Achieve this, and you’ll improve retention rates and reduce the disruption caused by high turnover.

But you’ll need to do more than throw a cracking Christmas party and hope for the best (I hope, by the way, yours was largely uneventful from a HR perspective!)

Working with a third party to complete your employee engagement survey means you benefit from expert support, allowing you to focus on the busy year-end period. The effort, on your part as the client, is minimal.
