BUS4045-Recruiting Retention & Developmen In Arthur, Recruiting, Interviewing, Selecting, and Orienting New Employees, read: • Chapter 1, "Recruitment Challenges," to learn strategies for successfully recruiting new employees. • Chapter 2, "Recruitment Sources," to learn recruiting strategies for targeting special-interest groups such as women and minorities. Read the following library articles: • Berger and Berger, 2011, "Talent Management" from Leadership Excellence, volume 28, issue 1, pages 14–15. • Edwards, 2010, "An Integrative Review of Employer Branding and OB Theory" from Personnel Review, volume 39, issue 1, pages 5–23. • Article Search Search the Internet to locate and read at least three articles about what companies are the best to work for. Several Web sites rate organizations for many different factors, such as the best small and medium companies to work for, the best companies for working mothers, or the best companies to work for in a specific location. Three Part Assignments Part 1 – Recruiting and Retention Best Practices -1 Page - Analyzes course concepts, theories, or materials correctly, using examples or supporting evidence. - Applies relevant professional, personal, or other real-world experiences to extend the dialogue 1. In your article search, you located information about the best companies to work for. For this discussion, analyze the information in the articles. What are the most frequently cited best practices for recruiting and retaining employees for the top companies? 2. Discuss four best practices and reflect on your own organization's practices compared to the companies on the lists. a. Which best practices are not currently instituted in your organization? b. Select two practices that would be feasible for your company to introduce in order to become an employer of choice and be more attractive to candidates. . Part 2 - Workforce Demographics – 1 Page - Analyzes course concepts, theories, or materials correctly, using examples or supporting evidence. - Applies relevant professional, personal, or other real-world experiences to extend the dialogue. 1. In your view, what are the most significant changes in the composition or demographics of the workforce? 2.What does this mean for an organization that is currently recruiting candidates? 3. What are the implications for recruiting and retaining employees? Part 3 - Brand Image – 1 Page - Analyzes course concepts, theories, or materials correctly, using examples or supporting evidence. - Applies relevant professional, personal, or other real-world experiences to extend the dialogue. A company's overall brand image can also affect the recruiting and retention process. For this discussion, determine how your current or former company can enhance its overall brand image in order to be more attractive to candidates. Answer the questions from Exhibit 1.1: Assess Your Organization's Image, in the Arthur textbook. Think about how your company can improve its image for candidates and differentiate itself from its competitors. Reference: DeCenzo, D. A., & Robbins, S. P. (2013).
