Retention, engagement and alignment may not be new concepts, but they are the key issues for companies that want to raise performance, according to Andrei Chulakhvarov, head of the permanent staffing department at Coleman Services.
Companies should retain good workers, keeping in mind the cost of finding and training new ones. Staff should be encouraged and engaged to protect the quality of output, and salaries should be aligned with the market and benchmarked so that they do not fall behind.
The market for senior managerial roles is stagnant, marked by recruitment processes which take a very long time, while the quality of candidates is variable and companies are unwilling to meet the salary demands of good managers.
Chulakhvarov says the slowing economy is affecting all markets, although consumer demand continues to fuel retail recruitment, and the I.T. sector is still growing.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
