Recruitment & Retention

How to attract, select and keep the right people.

Struggling to recruit the right people - or keep hold of them?

Recruitment & Retention is an in‑person, morning workshop designed to help businesses strengthen their recruitment processes and build long‑term, engaged teams.

Whether you're a start‑up taking on your first employees or a growing organisation wanting to improve staff stability, this session provides practical, real‑world insight into what works - from smarter hiring decisions to creating a culture that supports retention and business growth.

What we’ll cover:

• Best‑practice recruitment approaches that improve quality of hire
• How to reduce turnover and support long‑term business growth

You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of how to attract strong candidates, make informed hiring decisions, and create an environment where people want to stay - helping you build a more stable and effective workforce.
