Join CoAct: Recruitment and training

The employment services sector has one of the highest employee turnover rates of any industry vertical (40 per cent average turnover), largely thanks to staff burnout, insufficient training, and a lack of career progression. The price of this is huge, particularly when it includes factoring in the cost of disrupting the customer relationship, the very real cost of job lag and the cost of hiring and inducting a new recruit. These financial and time implications start from the moment an employee decides to leave their current job, continuing until a replacement employee is working to their optimum capacity.

Employment services is a specialised industry requiring niche knowledge and training.

Matching the right people to the right roles is an important first step in staff retention and satisfaction. Embedding a quality learning and development framework to onboard and nurture staff is, too. Both important, both costing businesses in time, money and expertise.
