Are you clear what you stand for as an employer? The results of our HR Hub Poll in May 2022
One third of the employers, people managers and HR professionals who attended Allen Associates Zoom HR Hub in May 2022 said that "a lack of cut-through on recruitment" was keeping them awake at night. Guest speaker, John Tarrant of DNA, discussed the importance of establishing a coherent employee value proposition (EVP) and employer brand and how, when done well, these make a measurable difference to attraction and retention.
