Engaged employees are better head hunters
- Post positions internally – let your employees know that you are hiring. You can even place the application on the intranet in the form of a survey or have resumes submitted through a simple process.
- Open up forums for discussion about the expected growth of your company. Include this information on a blog.
- Keep new hire information on the intranet. Include training manuals and other relevant information. Your new hires will appreciate it.
Get your employees to volunteer more often
Voluntary work increases workplace satisfaction, according to the business2community.com website.
- Has a member of your company gone the extra mile? Is there something special happening at an organisation with which you regularly do voluntary work? Promote and discuss these milestones on your company blog and in your newsletters. Also compliment employees who have gone above and beyond the call of duty.
- Offer opportunities for voluntary work. It might be difficult for your employees just to start from scratch, so offer them opportunities to volunteer together. That way people will be more connected with each other.
- Consider donating some of your employees’ time to a particular organisation during the working week. Or you can offer extra time off as an incentive for volunteers.
