Staff turnover figures are on the increase as companies are forced to improve EE figures. This is because of the challenges companies are faced with in attracting and retaining high quality Black staff.
Companies need to consider becoming a training ground for required skills in their industry or poaching from other businesses. Companies that poach are experiencing higher staff turnover figures than those that train! The rate at which organisations learn and can keep up with skills development has become a competitive advantage that no company should ignore.
Added to this is the challenge of acquiring or retaining a desirable BEE Score. Why not address these two challenges simultaneously? We will show you how.
