• Employee Orientation - 06/05/2008
  Topher - thanks for the great tips and resources. Employee retention is definitely one of the big challenges businesses face. I like to think that the process starts even before the orientation, with effective promotion for the open positions. A business can really benefit and save time by attracting the right type of applicants before the interviewing begins. I look forward to reading more of your guides!

While we explained in detail what it is we do, I don't know if we actually reached anyone! Thanks for the great advice - this is truly important for business.
