SECTOR SPOTLIGHT

ATTRACTING AND RETAINING STAFF

“After 20 months of closed borders, professional firms are bracing for an exodus of young talent. Business leaders expect pent-up demand will make the already tight labour market even tighter.” Australian Financial Review

Attracting and retaining staff isn’t only a concern for professional service organisations, the challenge is wide-spread. The hospitality, agriculture and aged care sectors are just a few of the other sectors impacted by a labour or skills shortage.  Worker shortages have inspired an incentive-based recruitment drive by a prominent aged care provider in Kalgoorlie-Boulder, WA. 

ABC News has reported that the aged care provider is offering to pay for their employee’s study and work expenses. Australian Venue Co. which operates more than 170 hospitality venues across the country, has launched a recruitment drive to bring in 500 hospitality workers from the UK.

According to The Guardian, the group is trying to lure staff with the promise of a $1,000 drinking and dining voucher, and will pay for flights to Australia, hotel quarantine and two weeks of accommodation. The RSM team knows that staffing and skills shortages can have major financial implications. If you or your clients need to discuss your financial options, including potential tactics to increase your cash flow, get in touch - we are here to help.
