Recruitment And Retention Case Study

Recruitment and Retention Case Study

In order to keep up with company growth and meet staffing needs to effectively run the business, Doiturself   Home Improvement Supply Store needs to see how the current compensation and benefits package is impacting our recruiting and retention.

We would then speak to HR Recruiters and determine what benefits potential candidates are asking for.   Finally we would gather all data and determine if the cause of turn over is compensation and benefits related.
Two factors that I would add to the benefits and compensation package would be a 9/80 schedule and employee discounts. Adding a 9/80 schedule to the compensation and benefits package will allow a full time employee to take one day of paid time off every two weeks.   Working 9 hours a day for one week (5 days) and 9 hours for four days the following week. The time off will allow employees to take care of personal business during that day, to help reduce people taking random days off and calling in.   The next addition to the benefits and compensation package would be an employee discount program. The employee discount program would allow any employee, full time or part time to buy store items at a discounted price. Adding the employee discount would encourage employees to buy from Doiturself Improvement Supply Store versus going to our competitors.
