t Works - An Employee Retention Tool
Human Resource experts estimate that hiring an employee costs a company 1.5 times his salary - a combination of recruitment costs, training time and lost productivity. This estimate would be even higher in the case of a temporary foreign worker. Filling the position is simply just the beginning - the real challenge is keeping a good temporary foreign worker.
Companies want to assist temporary foreign workers upon arrival. Often human resource managers and office administrators are tasked with helping the foreign workers and their families settle. However, this is very time consuming and all encompassing - taking time away from other work that needs to be completed.
t Works - An Employee Attraction Tool
Word-of-mouth is the most effective recruiting tool companies have. If a company recruits and retains high quality staff, the company will receive referrals of the same high caliber. Companies save valuable time and money usually spent on international recruiting, advertising and perusing piles of resumes. By assisting temporary foreign workers upon arrival companies make a lasting first impression. Furthermore, if customer service and attention to detail are important corporate values to your company - by adopting the t Works approach you've already instilled those values onto your temporary foreign worker. Referred applicants will have realistic expectations and a genuine interest in the position.
